Description

A true icon of modern design, residing in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Alessi Juicy Salif Juicer is a Philippe Starck design that famously originated in a sketch made on a napkin during a holiday on Italy s Amalfi coast. Introduced in 1990 as Juicy Salif, this modern citrus juicer is constructed from cast aluminum, and features a distinctive silhouette that recalls the leggy form of a squid s tentacles—rumored to be what Starck was eating when inspiration struck him. The subject of heated discussions and academic dissertations, the Alessi Juicer is unquestionably one of the most famous of all Alessi designs.
