Kettle

Michael Graves

The collaboration between Michael Graves and Alessi began in the late 1970s with the experimental Tea & Coffee Piazza project, aimed at identifying architectural talent capable of innovating the design of household objects. The common theme assigned to the designers, the tea and coffee service, served to translate their architectural language on a small scale. Graves revealed an extraordinary ability to blend diverse inspirations into a unique and recognizable code that had a great hold on the public, a quality confirmed by his later designs, starting with his first: the 9093 kettle.

Graves

Graves's personal formal language combines ideas taken from European tradition, Art Deco, American Pop Art and memories of pre-Colombian cultures. The American designer also has an ability to bewitch the general public like few other designers in the Alessi catalogue.
