# Stripped-Down Kettle Designs This Minimalist Aluminum Kettle is More Efficient and Eco-Friendly By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-12-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-kettle References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/12/22/a-cooler-alternative-kettle/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/32228413/TRAPEZE-Kettle) The designer of this aluminum kettle points out just how unnecessarily complex the contemporary water boiler has become. A simple vessel over heat has been sufficient since the very beginning, but modern products are now composed of handful of plastics, metals, parts that deteriorate quickly and overall designs that are full of flaws and do our planet no favors. Fraser Leid conceived the Trapèze Kettle to take a basic geometric form, molded from aluminum. The squared mouth of the vessel shapes a natural spout, and the item sits on a stainless steel hotplate where it heats up by induction. This technology of energy transferal would be more efficient than the existing one. What we can learn form this aluminum kettle is how designers should regularly take a step back to reanalyze our everyday machines to prevent gradual convolution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Simplified Product Design:** Designers can find disruptive innovation opportunities by reevaluating existing products and simplifying their designs. - **Energy-efficient Technologies:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation exist in developing technologies that are more energy-efficient than existing ones. - **Sustainable Material Usage:** By using eco-friendly materials in product design, disruptive innovation can be achieved to reduce environmental impact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Appliances Manufacturing:** The appliance manufacturing industry can benefit from disruptive innovation by exploring simplified and more sustainable product designs. - **Kitchenware Production:** Manufacturers in the kitchenware industry can find opportunities for disruptive innovation by developing energy-efficient technologies in their products. - **Induction Cooktops:** The induction cooktop industry can capitalize on disruptive innovation by incorporating more efficient energy transfer technologies in their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Designer Kitchen Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usm-kettle.md) - [Slick Tech-Advanced Minimalist Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-electric-kettle.md) - [Stacked Tea Kettle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-tea-kettle.md) - [Tea Vessel-Inspired Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonkettle.md) - [Tumbler-Inspired Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-travel-kettle.md) - [Modern Electric Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gooseneck-kettles.md) - [Minimalist Hot Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-instantheating-water-dispenser.md) - [Portable Compact Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kettle.md) - [Adjustable Temperature Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-kettle.md)
