is there an ultimate kettle? Does form always
follow function? Shape, size, color, and
materials can all be used by designers to make
personal statements about the place of kettles in
our lives. Design has brought together wood,
metals, ceramics, and plastics to transfigure
everyday household items into icons that capture
the fleeting style moments of this fast-moving,
machine-age century.
The Kettle presents 36 such icons. Look at any
one of them and it will immediately evoke images
and memories of 20th-century life. Some are
idiosyncratic design exercises, but many others
are intended for a substantial tour of duty in the
kitchen. From a simple metal shape with a
separate burner to a sleek study in plastic, each
kettle is more than just a water-boiler; it
is also a symbol of its o
place and time.
