The Juicy Salif citrus squeezer features a distinctive sculptural form designed by Philippe Starck for Alessi, originating from sketch concepts developed in 1998. Its three elongated legs provide a stable elevated stance, while the pip-shaped juicing head channels extracted juice downward efficiently. The steel construction offers durability alongside a polished finish that resists corrosion. The unconventional silhouette makes it a functional tool as well as a freestanding display object.
Brought to life from designer Philippe Starck's blueprint sketches on a pizza napkin in 1998, Alessi's 'Juicy Salif' citrus squeezer is an iconic piece of design. With its unconventional appearance, the item is supposed to function as a conversation starter as well as a tool for extracting juice according to Starck, and it does just that with its three exaggerated legs, pip-shaped juicer and sculptural form.
