Students will learn about the unique kettle invented by designer Philippe Starck. He designed the Hot Bertaa kettle to be different from everything else available. There was no lid to pour the water in, no handle, and no way of plugging the kettle in. So, how did it work? Watch the video about the Hot Bertaa kettle and learn why it might be an impractical but eye-catching design. Afterward, students will pick an ordinary object in their own kitchen and redesign it in the style of Philippe Starck. Includes downloadable PDF lesson plan. [3:17]
