Widely recognized as one of the defining icons of postmodern design, Il Conico transforms simple geometric forms into a strikingly functional household object. Rossi's architectural influence is evident in every detail—from the dramatic conical body and minimalist spout to the bold right-angle handle and spherical lid finial. The result is a timeless design that is equally at home in a design museum or an everyday kitchen.
Expertly crafted in Italy from mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, this kettle features a heavy magnetic steel base, making it suitable for all cooktops, including induction. Its generous 2-liter capacity makes it practical for daily use while remaining a highly collectible example of Italian design.
Whether you're an Alessi collector, a fan of Aldo Rossi's architecture, or simply appreciate iconic modern design, this kettle is a standout addition to any collection or kitchen.
