Handiwork of architect Michele De Lucchi, the Plissé kettle from Alessi is a far cry from your average kitchen appliance. Combining innovation and artistry, it sports a long, pleated resin body and refrains from using any fussy details for a truly modern, minimalistic sign off. Designed to work beautifully with any contemporary home décor, it’ll have you inviting all of your friends round for tea.
