The Alessi 9091 kettle

The kettle is made in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished (sorry about my photo) with a melodic whistle in brass and handle in black polycacrylate.

The 9091 was Alessi's first designer kettle, ushering in a long and successful tradition. The central element in the design is the brass whistle which, when the steam exits, produces a short and pleasant melody. Richard Sapper wanted to avoid the usual anxiety-generating noise produced by other kettles then on the market, and by following this exquisitely poetic philosophy he produced what is probably the first multisensory object for the kitchen.


You can actually make the sound by blowing into into the top part of the brass whistle.
