Twist: The Sustainable Stovetop Kettle by Hakan Gürsu

Award-Winning Design Combines Innovation, Sustainability, and Style

Twist, a groundbreaking stovetop kettle designed by Hakan Gürsu, redefines sustainability and efficiency in household appliances. With its unique water cycle system, Twist eliminates water loss during boiling, offering an eco-friendly, economical, and practical solution for modern kitchens.

Twist stands out in the market with its zero water loss feature, a significant improvement over conventional kettles that lose up to 25% of water during boiling. This innovative design not only preserves water but also saves energy by reducing the boiling process time. The kettle's unique water cycle system ensures that water and steam are preserved and circulated within the body of the kettle, making it an eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Aside from its sustainable features, Twist also boasts a stylish design that fits seamlessly into modern kitchens. Available in various colors, the kettle has a capacity of 1.5 liters, making it suitable for both single individuals and families. The design encourages using less water by eliminating the risk of burning out the kettle by leaving it on the stovetop. As there is always water preserved inside, Twist works efficiently with small amounts of water, reducing energy consumption compared to a full kettle.

Twist's innovative design extends to its safety features. The kettle includes a safety micro valve that releases excess steam in case of high pressure, ensuring product safety. The handle flips and locks into the spout, creating an inner funnel that enables the circulation of water. As the water vapor rises and condenses into liquid, it drips back into the main reservoir, maintaining continuous water circulation.

The kettle's body is made of colored stainless steel, while the upper part is made of heat-resistant Ultra ABS plastic. The grip is covered with an elastomer material that makes it easy to handle when hot. Using Twist is simple: water is filled through the top, the handle is twisted around to lock into the spout, and hot water is poured while turning and locking the handle back into the lid to preserve the remaining hot water inside.

Twist's innovative design and sustainability features have earned it recognition in the design world. In 2012, it was awarded the Golden A' Home Appliances Design Award, a prestigious honor granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, and significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.
