ettore sottsass bodum kettle



here’s a novelty, if we can call it that: the 1.7 l electric water kettle designed by
ettore sottsass for danish kitchenware company bodum in 1986. it comes in four
powdery colors and is made from plastic, stainless steel and silicone. bodum collaborated
with sottsass associates to resolve the technical problems of the production of the kettle's
metallic spout, and finally in may 2010 it will hit the stores as part of ' e-bodum', a new
line of electric appliances.

Design from beyond the grave - creepy!

Why does it need to have a metallic spout? Could it simply be for aesthetic purpose? Or is there a higher purpose? Btw, the pastel shades doesn't look too appealing to me. But that's just me.

What makes a good kettle?
1. cordless
2. base must be round (any direction is good)
3. water measure
4. water filter
5. boiling water does not touch plastic
6. auto-lift lid (not manual)
7. "ping" when switching off
8. beautiful design
That's why I got the Breville Ikon.

It is good to have something good back since Jasper Morrison work for Rowenta did not work.
