Virgil Abloh Tea Kettle

The Virgil Abloh Tea Kettle in an iconographic clash, somewhere between Dadaist collage and musical remix, reinterprets Michael Graves' unmistakable kettle. The whistle is completely redesigned, taking the form of a basketball player who crushes with power to the basket, while the colors of the handle and the knob are lit with an intense purple. The Virgil Abloh Tea Kettle by Virgil Abloh Securities represents Alessi's second encounter with Abloh and the first reinterpretation of an Alessi icon ever made, opening up a new chapter of Alessi's history. Designed in 1985 by American architect Michael Graves, the original kettle was made famous by its recognizable features: its cone shaped geometry and whimsical bird-shaped whistle. Before his passing, Virgil Abloh reinterpreted the iconic design under his creative corporation Virgil Abloh Securities. The Virgil Abloh Tea Kettle changes up the original design with a vibrant purple handle and whistle, the latter now a basketball player in mid-air dunking a ball.  The kettle has been produced in a limited numbered edition of 9,999 pieces.
