Alessi Plissé Electric 1L Water Kettle Black

The Alessi Plisse Electric Water Kettle, designed by Michele De Lucchi, is a 1-liter kettle notable for its pleated, sculptural form inspired by haute couture. Made of thermoplastic resin, it combines functional performance with a distinctive, fashion-influenced aesthetic. The kettle features a lid knob for opening, a lever switch under the handle to turn it on and off, and a hidden power base with a cable pull. A light on the lever indicates when boiling is active, and automatic shut-off occurs at the boiling point to return the switch to its resting position. A removable filter inside the spout helps prevent limescale from entering drinks, and a MAX indicator marks the maximum water level. The handle is shaped for a secure grip, and the spout is designed to facilitate pouring. The base is thermally insulated, allowing safe placement on surfaces after boiling. Cleaning interior recommendations include a water-and-vinegar solution; exterior and base should be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The kettle is available in multiple colors and is part of a design collection that emphasizes sculptural form as part of everyday use.
