Alessi's Kettle

I'm sure all of us have some products at home or in our office that have a kind of design problem. They don't work properly because they are not well-designed. Recently I bought this Alessi Kettle because I loved its form and color but the truth is that I’m not satisfied with it. The Kettle’s major problem is its lid. Opening the lid requires too much effort and there isn’t enough space in between the lid knob and the fixed kettle handle, even for my small hands. Every time I want to open the lid my hand would be injured because it hits the handle. This product needs to be redesigned for sure. Ergonomic essentials have not been considered for this product. Maybe I should go to Alessi’s office in Milan one day and tell them about the problem and my idea for the new model :)
