De'Longhi Icona Vintage Electric Kettle

The De'Longhi Icona Vintage Electric Kettle is a premium kitchen appliance known for its retro-inspired Italian design. Featuring a distinct glossy red finish with chrome details, this model (often identified as KBOV2001.R) belongs to the Icona Vintage collection, which emphasizes a mid-century aesthetic combined with modern functionality.

Originally founded in 1902 in Treviso, Italy, De'Longhi started as a small industrial parts manufacturing workshop. The brand rose to international prominence in the 1970s and has since become a global leader in home appliances, particularly in the coffee, comfort, and kitchen categories. While the brand carries a strong Italian heritage and its design headquarters remain in Treviso, the manufacturing of most small domestic appliances, including this kettle, is carried out in China to optimize global distribution.

De'Longhi S.p.A. remains the ultimate owner of the brand. The company is publicly traded on the Borsa Italiana and is a major player in the global market, also owning other prestigious brands such as Kenwood and Braun (under license). The De'Longhi Group maintains a significant global footprint with subsidiaries operating in major markets worldwide, including the UK and the US, ensuring its position as a household name in premium domestic appliances through 2026 and beyond.
