Alessi — Plissé MDL06G MDL06G/USA | Gray resin electric kettle

There is something unusually quiet about the shape of Plissé. The gray thermoplastic resin - compact, matte, almost mineral-like - envelops the kettle's body with a pleated texture that evokes couture more than the kitchen. Each vertical groove is a precise mark, a rhythm that transforms an everyday object into a silent and refined presence on the countertop. It does not shout or seek attention: it simply gets it. The design bears the signature of Michele De Lucchi, one of the most influential architects and designers in the history of contemporary Italian design - co-founder of Memphis in the 1980s, and later the creator of a personal body of work that successfully combined formal radicalism with industrial rigor. With Plissé, De Lucchi brings to Alessi a reflection on the most elementary domestic gesture: boiling water. The result is an object that belongs to the tradition of "design as culture", capable of transforming the morning routine into a small act of aesthetic awareness. At Stilmobili, we chose Plissé because it embodies exactly what we look for in the products we carry: the ability to be necessary and beautiful at the same time, without one compromising the other. It is the ideal kettle for those who have already considered every detail of their kitchen and do not intend to leave even their appliances to chance. A sophisticated gift for anyone who can recognize the difference between an object and a design. Project notes: 1.7-liter capacity, 1500W power, dimensions 21 × 16 × 29 cm.
