3909 Kettle by Virgil Abloh Securities
With Virgil Abloh Securities, Alessi has taken design to a whole new level. The company has collaborated with over three hundred well-known designers and architects, but this collaboration is quite special. This collaboration differs from their typical products, as it focuses more on mechanics than elegance, allowing the company to take a completely new approach to design. The company will release the newest 3909 kettle this month from this collaboration.
The inspiration comes from a previous collaboration with Michael Graves in 1985. The kettle includes a silhouette of an athlete dunking a basketball. This fresh vision takes an ordinary object, connects it to pop culture and sports, and gives it meaning that can create memories, inspire, and surprise. The CEO of the company, Daniel Talens, shared, “This new kettle, for me, is a tipping point for Alessi. It’s the first time in the company’s history that we have reinterpreted an Alessi icon.” Make sure to go check out Alessi products and this new collaboration!
