Alessi’s Juicy Salif citrus squeezer is a design icon from 1990. Juicy Salif was created by designer Philippe Starck during his seaside holiday in Italy. Starck took his inspiration from a dish of squid with lemon and drew sketches of Juicy Salif on a pizzeria mat. With the squeezer’s unconventional design, Starck challenged the principle “form follows function”. Besides squeezing lemons, the primary function of the unconventional, sculptural citrus squeezer is to start conversations.
