Spin

Spin designed by Martin M. Giroud Ituzaingo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

This design for a steel teakettle proposes a new, highly functional, safer way to pour liquid that causes less strain. Based on the idea of keeping a stable center of gravity (thus the sphere), the user pours, not by tipping the kettle, but by sliding a switch to activate a mechanism that tips the spout forward to pour, creating a delightful motion. As a result, neither arm nor wrist is used to pour, minimizing effort while improving balance, control and precision.
