The Cha Teakettle is a combined teapot and kettle from the Italian brand Alessi. Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, the teapot follows the designer's characteristically minimalist design language. Cha has an elegant, rounded base and narrow spout. The pitcher is made of stainless steel with a high-gloss polished finish. The base of the jug is made of magnetic steel, which allows it to be used on an induction hob. The handle and knob are made of thermoplastic. Cha is also equipped with a large filter for tea. The name Cha comes from the Japanese word for tea.
