Electric Kettle
LE LAPIN KITCHENWARE
With the iconic Le Lapin whistling kettle design, Dutch designer Nikolai Carels won the 1990 HEMA design competition. It enjoyed a 15-year successful run in HEMA stores but declined as electric kettles gained popularity. Responding to requests from former Le Lapin users for an electric version, the designer decided to re-introduce the design during the 30th anniversary. The New Le Lapin Electric Water Kettle, now under the Le Lapin Kitchenware brand, is a genuine 'legacy' product. It preserves the original's success with a redesign, catering to a new generation's needs.
