日本では今までお湯を沸かすものといえばやかんかジャーポットでしたが、最近は電気ケトルの需要が高まっています。電源さえあればキッチン以外の場所で簡単にお湯を沸かせるから、その手軽さが受けています。しかし今売られているものはどれも大きくてかたちが派手なので、±０は小さくてシンプルな円筒形の電気ケトルをつくりました。なるべく電気調理器っぽく見えないようにスイッチはハンドルの下方に取り付け、コードリールが付いた電源スタンドもケトルと同径にして一体化させました。これは新しい生活の必需品になるかもしれません。
Until now, when it came to boiling water in Japan, people had the choice of using either a kettle or a hot water dispenser; recently though, the demand for electric kettles has increased. Since you can easily boil water in places other than the kitchen as long as there is a power source handy, its convenience is really catching on. The electric kettles that are currently being sold are all big and have flashy shapes; that's why ±0 created a small, simple cylindrical electric kettle. To ensure that is looks as little like an electrical kitchen device as possible, the switch was fitted to the bottom section of the kettle's handle, while the power base with cord reel attached - having the same diameter as the kettle itself - has been integrated with the kettle. This may just become a new must-have item in our lives.
