Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus-squeezer

Made from a mirror polished and durable aluminium, its long, spider-like legs are tall enough to fit your glass underneath - ready to collect your lemon, orange or lime juice. The simplistic yet unforgettable form came to Starck on a pizzeria napkin during a seaside holiday in Italy.

Philippe Starck, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.

By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products, to architecture and naval and spatial engineering, he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene.

STORY

In the words of Alberto Alessi, "a true work of design must know how to move, communicate feelings, evoke memories, surprise, transgress...in short, it has to be poetic." Juicy Salif was born from a spontaneous proposal by Philippe Starck, unexpected and typologically a far cry from the steel tray that was initially commissioned from the French designer. Alessi had the insight to recognize its immense potential, bringing to fruition a juicer that remains unsurpassed in its ability to generate discussion around its nature and meaning.
