Description

The Pito kettle was designed by the architect, draughtsman, urban planner and designer Frank Gehry for the Italian publisher Alessi. Designed in 1992, this Pito kettle has become an icon of the Italian brand. Sculptural, functional and resistant, it is made of 18/10 bright stainless steel and has its origins in Frank Gehry's fascination with fish, both for their shapes and their movements: "I started to draw fish without any specific purpose. Then I discovered that I liked them, that they gave that feeling of movement present in classical sculptures or in certain Indian drawings" (F. Gehry). The handle and stopper with its melodic whistle are made from precious mahogany wood, giving this best-seller a luxurious, designer look that will fit in with any kitchen.

Frank GEHRY

Born in 1929 in Toronto, Canada, Frank Gehry studied architecture at the University of Southern California and then urban planning at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. In 1962, he founded the architectural firm Frank Gehry & Associates in Los Angeles. From 1969 to 1972 he designed the "Easy Edges" series of cardboard furniture, and in 1974 he was a lecturer at Yale University and Harvard University. Frank Gehry has been awarded honorary doctorates 13 times, including by the University of Toronto, the University of Southern California, Yale, Harvard and the University of Edinburgh. He is also the Charlotte Davenport Professor of Architecture at Yale, where he teaches to this day. It was during these experiences that he developed his highly contrasting imagination, marked by the influence of artists, visual artists and writers, making him an exceptional architect, urban planner and designer. He works mainly with Vitra (Wiggle Side Chair). His distinctive style stems from a personality free of all constraints: "I was a committed liberal and I loved art. These two things made me an architect". He is also the creator of the Pito kettle produced by Alessi, which has become one of the icons of the Italian brand.

ALESSI

In 1921, Giovanni Alessi founded the Italian company Alessi. Since 1929, the company has focussed on producing nickel- or silver-plated copper tableware. When Carlo Alessi, Giovanni's son, was appointed design director in 1935, handcrafting methods were replaced by industrial manufacturing. In 1955, the company began collaborating with world-renowned architects and designers such as Richard Sapper, Ettore Sottsass, and later, Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders. Alessi makes design accessible by focussing on useful, humorous and visually appealing home accessories. Most of its products have become design classics that are sold and exhibited around the world.
