Alessi seeks to translate bold creative impulses into real-life objects capable of fulfilling dreams and satisfying desires.The product’s very name—Plissé—declares its sculptural nature: like a fabric transformed into a three-dimensional shape by a thick pleating, this kettle is reminiscent of an haute couture dress, a beautiful object sculpted by a fashion designer. Over the years, the brand has partnered with renowned names like Philippe Starck, Alessandro Mendini, and Stefano Giovannoni, among others. The designer Michele De Lucchi took it as a model for his design of Alessi's Plissé electric kettle and designed a kettle that is anything but functional.

The brand is famous for their everyday objects that strike a balance between aesthetics and function. Chiaramente lo stile non ne giustifica il prezzo ma non è il classico bollitore da tenere nascosto in un mobile da cucina, fa scena anche se lo lasciate in vista. The brand is conscious of its environmental impact and strives to reduce waste and energy consumption in its manufacturing processes. It also looks great, I don’t feel the need to try and hide it away - I like seeing it on my counter tops and everyone always notices it and admires it. A kettle like a haute couture dress: a beautiful object to leave on display that borrows the visual codes of the world of high fashion, a true style icon that brings a touch of unexpected sophistication to any room.

As an added bonus, this kettle boils quickly and makes very little noise when doing so, it sounds much quieter than previously owned kettles. Coming from a very ancient technique, this folding method applied to this kettle is undeniably similar to the one that you can find on haute couture clothes. With a sculptural form alluding to the folds of a pleated fabric the Plissé is very much a piece of art as well as a practical kitchen tool. Alessi is an iconic Italian design brand that brings art, poetry and excellence into everyday objects.
