The Alessi Toru electric kettle, designed by Studio Nendo for Alessi, reflects all the company's craftsmanship and precision in working with steel. "Toru" means "through" in Japanese, and the designer's creative imagination transforms the handle into a spout that runs playfully through the steel body. An ironic but intellectual approach to composition that softens the metal material without altering its refined aura.

• Lid raises automatically by pushing back the opening knob.
• A symbol (MAX) on the inside of the kettle indicates the maximum amount of water the kettle can hold.
• On the body of the kettle, under the handle, is a lever switch for turning on and off.
• Below this switch is an indicator light that shows the status of the kettle (on/off).
• Once the boiling point is reached, the kettle automatically shuts off and the switch returns to its original position
