Acclaimed for his ironic interpretation of traditional forms, it is this sensibility that has projected Graves to a star among designers, as can be seen in his many designs for Alessi that clearly depict a “new Americana.” Michael Graves is known to spend more than half of his time on design alone, and the 9093 was no exception. The 9093 Kettle with Bird Whistle, as designed by Michael Graves, became a household favorite throughout the world from the very beginning (1985). This sole design has sold the greatest number of units in the entire history of Alessi, and, furthermore, it has been cited in numerous design manuals as one of the "most influential objects of the post-modern style." It is considered a forerunner to designs of today that incorporate a very "playful" approach.
