9091 Kettle

The 9091 kettle has a melodic brass whistle with an unusual shape, consisting of two small pipes in which choristers are inserted that reproduce the notes mi and si. Richard Sapper created it inspired by a childhood memory, the poetic sound of the sirens of the boats on the Rhine river: because the melody that accompanies the release of the steam must be pleasant, not anxious like the typical whistle of kettles. The 9091 kettle is a multi-sensory object, which will not interrupt a pleasure break with a whistle, but with an enveloping melody.
