Designed by the visionary Japanese studio Nendo for Alessi, the Toru electric kettle is a true functional sculpture.
A design piece.
Its ingenious form turns this everyday object into an expression of creative thinking: the handle takes the shape of a tube that playfully runs through the body from side to side.
An intelligent and unexpected interpretation that elevates the ordinary to an art form.
With Toru, the simple act of boiling water becomes a moment to appreciate beauty in the little things.
