Entry Description

Beautiful design with intuitive experiences that bring joy in tasks as universal as boiling water.
Good design shouldn’t be exclusive to specific habits or activities. This kettle is a joy to look at and use whether its for ramen, brewing single-origin coffee or oolong tea.
Combination of a one-touch and instant repeat button for users who want rapid results, as well as a touch screen dial interface for users who want more specific ones.
Taking democratic design to another level, the handle is also designed to create an ergonomic and equitable experience for both left and right handed users.
