Designer: Richard Sapper
Kettle 9091
Designed by Richard Sapper the kettle 9091 in stainless steel was the first of Alessi's "designer boilers". To avoid the usual ansiogenic noise produced by the kettles, Sapper has given the 9091 a melodic whistle made of brass and consisting of two small vents in which the tuners that reproduce the musical notes mi and si are inserted. When steam comes out, the two tuners create a pleasant short melody. The 9091 kettle is a polysensory object which will not interrupt an enjoyable break with a whistle, but with a captivating melody.

The company
Founded in 1921 as a “Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry”, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products.
In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”, capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types.
Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.
Alessigraphy: the geography of Alessi production
Since the Company's foundation in 1921 the majority of Alessi products have been manufactured through the cold working of metals, a tradition that is kept alive today by the skilled workers at the Crusinallo plant in Omegna.
Over time, Alessi also began to work with many other materials, such as porcelain, glass, wood, and plastic... A specific production method was developed for each one. Even when production takes place outside the Crusinallo plant, Alessi’s guidelines ensure the company’s original production quality standards, continuing to reconcile industrial technological complexity with an artisanal eye for detail.
The objects produced from the different materials are manufactured in various production plants across the world. They remain original Alessi objects in that they are conceived with the same design excellence and produced with the same attention to quality that sets the company’s products apart.
