An icon since 1985, and it still stops people in their tracks.

The 9093 Whistling Bird Teakettle, born from our partnership with Alessi, remains one of the most recognized objects in modern design. Polished stainless steel, that unmistakable bird whistle, a piece people invest in and pass down.

Do you remember when this kettle first came out? Drop your memory below, we want to hear it.

Michael Graves asked one question before every design: how does this work for how people actually live?

"I always wanted to bring great design to the widest audience possible, and for me, great design is the combination of appearance with great function."

Still the standard here, on everything we design.

Design that stands the test of time.

This past week, Target opened “Target by Design,” a two-day presentation taking place as a New Museum Retail Experience in New York City. Celebrating Target’s commitment to accessible design and the creative talent shaping the future of style and design.

Michael Graves Design was featured alongside other iconic designers, a reminder that the original Target teakettle wasn’t just a product. It was a turning point for what good design could look like at scale.

Our team was on the ground to celebrate the legacy in person, surrounded by decades of design history that still feels just as relevant today!

Michael Graves was asked for advice more than almost anything else, by young designers, by strangers, by anyone who crossed his path.

Michael’s answer never changed. Watch to hear it from our CEO, Ben Wintner.

The Michael Graves Design for Target partnership stands as one of the most iconic collaborations in the brand's history. For the first time, great design became financially accessible and could be found in homes everywhere.

That belief, that everyone deserves access to thoughtful, well-made design, is the same philosophy behind Design for Every Body today.

What's your favorite design from that era? Tell us below.

"It wasn't about where we're going and how to push the boundaries and what new way we can solve a problem. It was that combined with, how can we look at how people live? How can we look at societal norms and how society functions, and how society could function better?"

That's Rob, on what it was like working alongside Michael Graves.

He designed for how people actually live. That's still the standard here.

Adjusting a cane's height shouldn't be a hassle, and with the Quick Fold, it isn't. Press the lever, slide the handle up or down, and it clicks into place at pre-set heights. No tools, no struggle. Just press, slide, done.
