Description

"I started to draw fish. Without any specific goal, I discovered that I loved them and that they gave the sense of movement that you get in classical sculptures or in some Indian figures". (Frank Gehry).


The Pito stovetop tea kettle was designed by Frank Gehry and is made by Alessi in Italy. The perfect fusion of form and function, the Frank Gehry Pito kettle provides a stylish way to heat up your water for that perfect cup of tea.So stylized and alluring is the Pito tea kettle that you might forget that its main use is boiling water and confuse it for a work of art. 

Designed back in 1992 by Frank Gehry, Alessi's Pito Water Kettle must be one of the most beautiful, functional kettles on the market. It is made out of mirror polished steel and has an organic, almost fluid, curve to it. Both the handle and whistle/spout are made of carved mahogany wood. It measures just 7.25-in. across and stands 7.25-in high. Kettle in 18/10 stainless steel, mirror polished. Handle and cap with melodic whistle in mahogany.
