Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
This variable-temperature electric kettle merges vintage mechanical gauge aesthetics with precise temperature control. Drawing inspiration from vintage mechanical gauges, it reimagines its temperature display interface as a classic analogue dial on the front, which shows the real-time temperature via its needle. The mechanical temperature control toggle continues the vintage design language to ensure visual consistency. Moreover, indicator lights alongside markings on the front of the base offer intuitive feedback on the setting status. Thanks to seven temperature settings, a 60-minute keep-warm function, and an 1800 W rapid heating system, the product meets the brewing needs of various beverages while avoiding repeated reheating or long waits for water to cool down.

The double-wall insulated body minimizes the risk of scalding, with a Strix thermostat supporting automatic shut-off upon boiling and providing dry-boil protection. The damping lid opens slowly and gently releases steam to prevent water splashes. The uncoated 316L stainless steel liner not only delivers exceptional corrosion and oxidation resistance but also eliminates concerns over coating wear or peeling. Furthermore, the kettle extends a zero-plastic principle to all internal water-contact components. In addition, the low-saturation cream-white body, accented by the mirror-finished silver handle, dial bezel, and base, exudes a vintage charm with enduring visual appeal. This timeless aesthetic, combined with a precision manufacturing process that guarantees lasting utility, avoids frequent replacement to reduce electronic waste—reflecting a firm commitment to sustainable development.
