The Plissé kettle by Alessi was inspired by the worlds of fashion and architecture. Its three-dimensional surface resembles pleated fabric, and it has a dynamic, sculptural silhouette. Designed by Michele De Lucchi in 2018, Plissé is perfect for both boiling and serving hot water – thanks to the thermally insulated base, you can safely place the kettle on any tabletop. The kettle is equipped with an anti-limescale filter and a safety switch that automatically cuts off the power if there is not enough water inside. The heating element is hidden in the base for easier cleaning.
