OBJECT OF DESIRE
Alessi Juicy Salif
1. Press the cut side of the fruit gently on the rounded tip, and slowly rotate to squeeze out juice.
2. The juice will trickle to the tip, and into your glass or bowl below.
3. The Juicy Salif, cast from aluminium, has three spindly legs with rubber paddings below for stability
BIO
The Juicy Salif’s striking aluminium body looks like a terrifyingly oversized spider or a sci-fi monster, anything but what it actually is – a citrus squeezer. Designed by Philippe Starck for Italian homeware label Alessi in 1998, this futuristic-looking object provoked the design world by thumbing its nose at the “form follows function” principle. The Juicy Salif is available in grey and black anthracite, as well as a gold-plated version to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
TRIVIA
Philippe Starck was squeezing lemon juice over calamari in an Italian pizzeria, which inspired him to sketch his idea of a lemon squeezer on the table mat. He then sent the sketch to Alberto Alessi. In an interview with architecture website Dezeen, Alessi says he loves the product, but considers it “a big joke” as the design contradicts the function.
