Selected by Virgil Abloh for a re-design operation, the kettle created by Michael Graves is reborn as a new icon in an iconographic clash that reveals unexpected affinities between the cultural spheres involved - from Michael Graves' postmodernism to Virgil Abloh's eclectically inclusive approach. Much more than a simple reinterpretation, the operation of Virgil Abloh Securities absorbs and elaborates several references, amplifying them exponentially.
Michael Graves
Born in Indianapolis in 1934, he taught architecture in Princeton from 1962, where he opened his own studio in the same years. In the 1970s, he was a member and co-founder of the "New York Five", a group of five post-modern architects. His works include the Portland Building and the Humana Building in Louisville, Disney's Dolphin and the Swan Hotel in Florida and the Denver Public Library. His style is characterised by both European traditions and American pop. He has received numerous international awards, including the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects. For Alessi, he created iconic objects such as the 9093 kettle. He passed away in 2015.
