Alessi kettle 1980 by Richard Sapper postmodern

Very friendly with Laclanche! Iconic 9091 kettle by Richard Sapper for Alessi, first edition 1984. Extraordinary craftsmanship, weighted object, made of thick stainless steel, heavy and shiny in historical contrast with the brass whistle that sings "si" and "mi" without whistling, as soon as the water reaches temperature. You pull a lever with your index finger to open the spout. Extraordinary Alessi before the flood of more mundane ideas - the 80s, the last stop before massification. Works on all hobs and particularly on cast iron ranges, yes Aga. So goodbye Smeg, and thank you. 2 litres, diameter 22cm, height 16cm. When you know, you know.
