Description from MoMA Store
Shortly after German chemist Otto Schott invented borosilicate glass in the late 19th century, the material became a standby in home kitchens This kettle is made in Jena, Germany, by a company that has specialized in producing borosilicate glass cookware since 1920. The clear material and deliberately “unsophisticated aesthetics” put the kettle’s simple, necessary function in the spotlight, transforming one’s experience to an everyday object.
The Museum of Modern Art has always been attuned to the close relationship between design and materials—and seeks to represent ways designers employ new materials and technology to improve an object’s function. MoMA Design Store offers products that reflect new advancements in the materials designers are using at the moment they emerge.
