Alessi - Michele De Lucchi - Teapot - Plissé - Thermoplastic resin

A kettle decidedly in form, by Michele De Lucchi. "Plissé", this product's very name declares the sculptural nature of its design: like a fabric that a thick pleating transforms into a three-dimensional shape, this kettle is reminiscent of an haute couture dress, a beautiful object sculpted by a fashion designer. The plissé is a highly iconic form that De Lucchi has taken for its cheerful and festive spirit. It comes from the fashions of the 50s and 60s when pleated skirts created stunning effects of floaty and frothy fabrics, but the plissé is still a very contemporary sign today. Objects, like pieces of furniture, do not only work when they are in use, but they also work as presences lling space. He states that ''objects have to have a formal, aesthetic and symbolic meaning as well as being highly evocative, even when they are not being used''. This kettle is in new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging and documents.
