QR Code Link to This Post
Sexy design. Recently seen with purple accents at the MOMA store on Omotesando dori (price ¥38,500) .
Expensive item new (roughly ¥23,000) which we bought at the Alessi shop Aoyama
3 Chome-2-5 Kitaaoyama, Minato City, Tokyo 107-0061, Japan +81 3-5770-3500
They have it available on-line at https://alessi.jp/products/list?category_id=12
If you pick up from my station or if you buy some other stuff, you can have it for ¥6900!! If you require it to be shipped then the price is firm.
We are selling it for only 8500 because we already have another one in the USA! We ditched the bird at some point but it is possible to get a replacement bird. I've attached a screen shot of a couple Alessi whistle replacements available on EBay. Amazon.com had a white one but out of stock now.
Made in Omegna in Italy, which is where Alessi is based. (not made in China)
Product Name: 9093 Kettle

Here's a review by someone in the USA: https://www.dwell.com/article/alessi-whistling-bird-kettle-review-e0432905
In 1985, Italian company Alessi employed an American designer for the first time. Clearly it paid off because the resulting product was one of their best selling products for 30 years! The Alessi 9093 kettle, which was designed by architect and designer Michael Graves, has sold over 1.5 million units since its first release.
The cone shape of the body of the kettle is sleek, yet warm and friendly. This shape also enables the water inside it to boil more quickly.
Michael Graves uses pastel colours in a design that looks like a piece of classic Americana. Graves' architecture has seen him design resorts for Disney. Maybe it's his sense of fun and his playful style that attracted Alessi to him.
