PLISSÉ ELECTRIC KETTLE
Designed by Michele De Lucchi, the Plissé kettle combines functional aspects with a plastic and fascinating design that reveals the creator's architectural background, as well as his passion for the handicraft and for sculpture.
Like a fabric that a thick pleating transforms into a three-dimensional shape, this kettle is reminiscent of an haute couture dress, a beautiful object to be left on display on your kitchen top.

STORY
"The Plissé kettle has a shape defined by the folds of a very old but still relevant technique. With the skillful and creative use of folding, designers shape fabrics and create clothes like art sculptures. Plissé is shaped from a folded sheet of paper and made by Alessi as a beautiful sartorial object. The folds shape the form, mold it, structure it - because a form without folds is just a volume without form. The folds transform simple two-dimensional sheets into three-dimensional objects."
Michele De Lucchi
