About this deal

While embracing change and international growth, the brand remains deeply rooted in tradition, infusing the craftsmanship of its territory into each piece. With intricate detailing and simple design, the Plisse kettle by Alessi is a truly stylish, high-end product. The design of this stainless steel induction hob kettle, created by Michael Graves in 1985, mixes the influences taken from European Art, American Pop and quotes from pre-Columbian cultures.
