Bulbul is a perfect induction hob kettle imagined in the rounded shape of a curling stone: it presents a new way of handling this object, almost as if to suggest an invitation to play by sliding it across the kitchen surface. Bulbul reveals Achille Castiglioni’s extraordinary ability to transfer qualities and functions into a project from objects belonging to entirely different spheres. This game of transfers has often resulted in the equally famous ironic dimension of many of his works.

Designer: Achille Castiglioni
Born in Milan in 1918, he began working as an architect and designer in the 1940s together with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo. He is one of the great masters of Italian design and was a founding member of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design. Among the numerous awards he has received, his designs have been honoured with nine Compasso d'Oro Awards. His work as a designer was characterised by an unmistakable mixture of simplicity, irony and entertainment, coupled with a pronounced curiosity for technology and new materials and the way objects are used. In the MoMa in New York alone, 14 of his works are on display. Among the various projects realised for Alessi is Dry: the company's first cutlery service. He passed away in 2002.
