Designer Alessandro Dadone created this vibrant red kettle, which was inspired by another kitchen appliance -- the toaster. The Bodum Kettle contains aspects from the popular Bodum Bistro Toaster but it certainly carries itself as an individual product.
The bold red kettle is made from specialized tactile rubber materials that consume its exterior shell. This material allows the user to have a firm and stable grip while protecting themselves from the piping hot contents of the kitchen accessory. The inside of the appliance is made from the same stainless steel as the Bistro Toaster to maintain extreme temperatures.
The Bodum Kettle contains an easy-to-use push-button mechanism that make refilling and cleaning really simple. The single power button lets users know when the device is on and the intuitive hydrometer is helpful for measuring each use.
