“I received a napkin from Starck, on it among some incomprehensible marks (tomato sauce, in all likelihood) there were some sketches. Sketches of squid. They started on the left, and as they worked their way over to the right, they took on the unmistakable shape of what was to become the juicy salif. While eating a dish of squid and squeezing a lemon over it, Starck drew on the napkin his famous lemon squeezer.”
Alberto Alessi
Philippe Starck’s aluminium Juicy Salif Citrus Squeezer was designed in 1990 and has become one of the most recognisable of Alessi’s hundreds of products and perhaps the only one to channel the design aesthetic of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.
To use simply place your glass under the juicer and squeeze away!
