A stainless steel construction with the stylized shape of a rounded stone, it was created by achille Castiglioni and plays with his characteristic notions of transferring functions between objects. While its form suggests that it can be playfully slid around a kitchen counter like a curling stone, it should not be done while the kettle is hot a plastic handle and spouts offer safe gripping, coordinating well with the clean surfaced and incorporates a magnetic steel bottom that makes it able to use on an induction range.
