Alessi Cha Teapot and Kettle by Naoto Fukasawa. A kettle teapot give teatime a whole new meaning.Naoto Fukasawa’s characteristic minimalist rigour is appearing once again in the Alessi catalogue with the design of this refined object that is both a Kettle and a Teapot. “Cha” is manufactured in stainless steel and both the knob on the lid and the handle are in black thermoplastic resin to protect the hand from heat. “Cha” has a capacity of 90 cl.

  • The magnetic steel bottom allows it to be used on any heat source, even induction hobs.
  • The lid easily fits into the body of the kettle and teapot, snugly secured to prevent it from overturning during use.
  • The mobile handle is connected to the body of the object in order to remain in a vertical position while the teapot is being held and make it easier to pour the contents.
  • By folding it horizontally, close to the body of the object, the Kettle can be stored away in a small space when not in use . With its large and elegantly designed inner filter,  “Cha” – from the Japanese word for tea – is a stunning piece for serving this beverage.
  • The welded spout is fitted with an additional filter to capture any leaves that may escape from the inner container.
  • This structural detail also means “Cha” can be used without a filter by placing the tea leaves directly into the body of the teapot.
  • The deceptively simple form of this object conceals an exasperated search for details, a typical trait of Fukasawa’s expressive purism.
  • A refined form, simple yet meticulous.
