Frank Gehry Pito Kettle - Steel, Mahogany

The Pito kettle offers a sculptural form with its shiny steel body, accented by a mahogany handle and whistle. Its dynamic, springy shapes, inspired by the organic forms of fish, provide a striking visual presence in the kitchen. Designed by Frank Gehry for Alessi in 1992, the kettle reflects his fascination with natural, unconventional forms. The kettle is not suitable for induction hobs.
