9093 Miniature Kettle with Bird Whistle by Michael Graves

With meticulous attention to the intricacies of the shape and materials used to make the original, Alessi has reproduced the "9093" Signature 67oz Kettle with Bird Whistle, as designed by Michael Graves in miniature form. 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.” 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.


Alessi has unveiled a series of miniatures comprising a number of classics from the last sixty years of their production. This collection includes iconic designs such as the Bombé Teapot by Carlo Alessi (1945) and the "Mami" Saucepan by Stefano Giovannoni (1999). This impressive series was created with avid collectors of Alessi products in mind to give them the chance to complete their private collections of authentic Alessi products.
