Following his design of the famous Chemex Coffee Maker, the German born designer Peter Schlumbohm created this water kettle that is the essence of functional purity and simplicity. Handblown from heat proof borosilicate glass, the kettle has no lid, yet is nearly completely enclosed. The silicone stopper ensures that steam escapes without heating up with the glass neck, allowing it to be used as a handle. Part of the Museum of Modern Art New York's Permanent Collection.
