Alessi Plissé Electric Kettle

The Alessi Plissé Electric Kettle, designed by Michele De Lucchi, has a 1.7-liter pleated body in thermoplastic resin whose folds catch light and shadow on the counter. It boils quickly at 2400W, shuts off automatically, pours cleanly and measures 21 by 16 by 29cm, in a white finish with a UK plug. It suits minimalist kitchens where the kettle is on display.
