Vintage Bodum Ottoni Tea Kettle — Carsten Jørgensen, Mid-Century Design, 1986

This “Ottoni” kettle by Bodum, designed in 1986 by Carsten Jørgensen, combines polished stainless steel with sculptural details characteristic of late 20th-century Scandinavian-influenced design.

The clean cylindrical body is contrasted by a copper and blue spherical lid finial and a removable mahogany handle, balancing industrial precision with warmer organic materials.

Produced in Italy in inox 18/10 stainless steel, the kettle reflects Bodum’s approach to functional objects designed with a strong visual identity.

Both practical and decorative, it works equally well in a kitchen setting or displayed as part of a collection of postmodern and modernist design objects.
