Michele De Lucchi's design for Alessi's Plissé Electric Kettle elevates an everyday object into a useful sculptural accent for the modern kitchen. Made of thermoplastic resin, the crisp pleats create a lovely play of light and shadows. The new version has a temperature control option controlled and displayed on the base, so everything from green tea to French press coffee can be brewed at the ideal temperature. With 1500 watts for quick boiling, a removable filter for easy cleaning, an automatic shut-off, the Plissé is as functional as it is fabulous.
