The Alessi MG32 kettle is the popular electric version of the 1985 best-seller designed by Michael Graves, clamoured for by Alessi's most typical tea drinker markets. The smooth, cone shaped design in a stainless steel and coloured finish looks elegant and stylish and complements any kitchen design. A powerful 2kW element brings water to boiling point in no time at all, and a unique smooth pouring action prevents any water from dripping on to your kettle or work surface. With a 1.5L capacity, this is the perfect size for catering for families whilst still being handy for a quick cup. A removable bird spout provides an original touch. Michael Graves has been at the forefront of architectural design since founding his New Jersey based practice in 1964. Not stopping at architecture though, the talented self dubbed 'general practitioner' of design also takes lead on interiors, furnishings and fittings for his projects; culminating in collaborations with household companies such as Alessi, Disney, Phillips Electronics and Black & Decker.
