In 2018, Michele De Lucchi created the "Plissé", a kettle with a decidedly plastic and sculptural shape that quickly caught the public's interest. With its pleated design reminiscent of a haute couture dress, a beautiful object shaped by a designer, "Plissé" soon established itself as a new icon in our domestic landscape. Continuing to explore the expressive possibilities offered by the surface shaped by a dense series of folds, De Lucchi has created a small collection of household appliances, flanking the first kettle with a juicer, a blender, a toaster and a hand blender. "The “Plissé” kettle’s shape is defined by its folds, a technique that is quite old but still very much in use today. With the skilful and creative use of pleating, fashion designers shape fabrics and create clothes like sculptural works of art. “Plissé” was shaped starting from a folded sheet of paper, then developed and produced by Alessi as if it were a beautiful sartorial object. The folds give form to the shape, they structure it, because a form without folds is only a volume without form. The folds transform simple two-dimensional sheets into three-dimensional objects.”
