Color-Changing Kettles

The 'Creativi*tea Kettle' Fires Up With Heat

— March 31, 2009 — Art & Design
Spicing up the ordinary process of making tea, the Creativi*tea Kettle by Sarina Fiero ignites its color as the water heats within.

Turning increasingly more luminous red, the intelligent teapot keeps its user informed and alert during the entire course of water boiling, offering a touch of perfection to your precious cup of tea. After all, green tea requires a lower water temperature of 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit so as not to ruin the delicate infusion, while black and most herbal teas call for boiling water to unleash their essence.

In an act of precision, the ultra-stylish Creativi*tea Kettle employs thermochromic technology in its paint to embrace some temperature sensitivity and serve your favorite tea in its ideal state.
Trend Themes
1. Color-changing Appliances - Thermochromic technology opens up possibilities for more color-changing appliances, such as toasters, refrigerators and mixers.

3. Functional Design - Designing functional products that provides precise information for the user is an important aspect of innovation, such as in the case of temperature-sensitive kettles.
Industry Implications

2. Smart Home Technology - The integration of intelligent features in home technology continues to grow, providing innovative solutions like color-changing kettles in the kitchen.
3. Product Design - Functional and user-friendly design is a key factor that drives innovations and improvements in product design across industries in order to enhance the user experience.
