A playful 1980s landmark that brings postmodern charm to everyday kitchen rituals.

Michael Graves transformed a simple stovetop utility into a warm, humanized object for Alessi in 1985. Represented in MoMA’s collection, the 9093 Kettle embodies postmodern sensibility by juxtaposing an industrial, mirror-polished steel body and riveted base with a colorful plastic handle and a signature bird-shaped whistle that sings when water boils. Pulling together influences from American Pop art and Deco geometry, it remains one of the late 20th century's most celebrated tabletop objects. The 9093 Kettle is made in Italy by Alessi, a manufacturer with work in MoMA’s collection.

Features of the 9093 Kettle from Alessi include:

  • Made in Italy from 18/10 mirror-polished stainless steel body with thermoplastic resin handle and whistle.
  • Suitable for all stovetops, including induction.
  • Hand wash only; do not heat empty or allow to boil dry.
  • Small: 8h x 7.9"diam.; holds 33.8 oz.
  • Large: 8.75h x 8.75"diam.; holds 48 oz.
