Naoto Fukasawa: Cha

With the Cha project for Alessi, Fukasawa has transformed the ancient traditional Japanese teapot into a sophisticated modern object that can be brought from the kitchen hob to the table.

Naoto Fukasawa: Cha
Cha– from the Japanese word for tea – designed by Naoto Fukasawa for Alessi, is a large kettle and teapot in 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish, and features a magnetic steel bottom for use on all heat sources, including induction hobs. Cha is equipped with a removable infusion filter and an additional internal filter positioned at the height of the pouring spout.

The 18/10 stainless steel lid has a black thermoplastic resin knob and securely fits into the body of the kettle to prevent it from overturning during use.

The curved handle is made of black thermoplastic resin and allows you to grip the large kettle while keeping your hand away from the heat source. In the upright position, Cha is easy to grip when pouring. While on its side, it is easy to fill and occupies less space.

With its seemingly simple shape, Cha is the product of an in-depth study of all the details that make up the ancient ritual of serving tea.
