Alessi Toru Electric Kettle
TORU ELECTRIC KETTLE
TORU ELECTRIC KETTLE
Designed by Nendo
“Toru” means “through” in Japanese and Nendo's creative imagination turns the handle of this unprecedented electric kettle into a spout, which runs playfully through the steel volume of the body.

FAMILY
Toru, the stainless-steel appliance series designed by Nendo for Alessi, is a wonderful expression of the skill and care with which the company handles this material. “Toru” means “through” in Japanese and is a subtle reference to the black, tube-like elements that characterise the various objects in the collection. These elements fit elegantly into the stainless-steel body, acting sometimes as a spout, sometimes as a handle, to create a composition of cleverly ironic volumes.
