Product description
Description
The 9093 kettle designed by Michael Graves in 1985 (the first product by an American designer in the Alessi catalogue) is an icon of contemporary utility design. Although the form and shape of the 9093 reflects the design trends of the 1980s and 1990s, combining postmodernism and pop culture, the product also delights its contemporary users. As one of the most famous products from the Italian 'dream factory', it has also sold the largest number of units in the company's entire history. This also proves that in the case of this product, as with other products from the brand, original design goes hand in hand with durability and functionality. Made of stainless steel, the kettle with a magnetic steel base can be used on any type of stove.
The limited edition Tea Rex shown here is a version with a whistle in the form of a dragon, a version to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the design. As intended by designer Michael Graves, this whistle, changing its form from a small bird to a powerful flying dragon - a superhero- represents the transformation of an ordinary teapot into a design icon. The dragon is also a reference to Chinese culture, where it is a symbol of strength and luck. Although the dragon does not breathe fire, steam rises from its mouth - a sign that it is time for tea!

The kettle is visually nice. But : the whistle does not whistle but hisses, badly made and plastic. In addition, without a glove and the use of force you have no chance to take it out. To pour water into the kettle you have to use a lot of force to remove the lid and pour water. I will make a return, the kettle for a gift (expensive) maybe Ok, but whether the recipient will be satisfied - I doubt. I thought that visually cool on the Internet will be a great addition to the kitchen - a very expensive mistake - I advise everyone against this purchase !!!

The kettle looks great but the design and whistle mechanism are very disappointing. That's a shame.

the kettle is very cool, the poor quality of the whistle - or rather its execution
