Pebble Kettle

Consumer Appliances


Pebble Kettle is a personal project designed with HAY Design’s aesthetic in mind. With its playful, rounded form and clean lines, it brings a sense of lightness and simplicity to the kitchen while fulfilling the essential function of boiling water.

Special Thanks to Women in Design SF and my mentor, MJ Park. 

2025 Spring





Pebble Kettle is designed for HAY

Customer demographic

  • Design conscious individuals – Appreciate stylish, well-designed products.
  • Young urban professionals – Seek modern, functional home essentials.
  • Affordable luxury seekers – Value quality design at a mid-range price.


    • Based on the market research of electric kettle, the market is missing a playful plastic-free kettle.
    And considering the simplisity from HAY brand, I chose not to include smart function into it.
