Michael Graves’ kettle is recognised all over the world as an icon of contemporary design, thanks to its mix of pop and postmodern styles. To mark the kettle’s 30th anniversary, Graves has redesigned the whistle, transforming the little bird into a fascinating mythological and futuristic creature: something in between a dragon and a flying dinosaur. Symbolising strength and fortune in Chinese culture, the dragon was chosen as a good luck charm for the kitchen.

Scarlett ★★★★★

I’ve had this kettle for two weeks now, and the way the handle stays cool to the touch is a game-changer for pouring. The whistle is just loud enough to hear from the other room without being jarring.

Violet ★★★★★

The pop-art styling makes it a real conversation piece on my counter, and the whistle still sounds crisp after weeks of daily use. That clean postmodern silhouette is exactly what drew me in, and it boils water fast enough for my morning routine.

Joshua ★★★★★

I’ve used it every morning since it arrived—the whistle is just loud enough without being annoying, and the handle stays cool to the touch. The way it balances retro curves with clean lines makes it look right at home on my stove.
