About this Product
The Juicy Salif citrus squeezer, now described by its creator Philippe Starck as a small allien who came to visit our homes is truly an iconic object. This aesthetic sculptural citrus juicer is the ultimate conversation piece to have at home. As provocative as it is controversial, the Juicy Salif has been one of Alessi’s best seller for the last 30 years and has become the ultimate symbol of design. The Juicy Salif is made of three long legs that support the teardrop shaped juicer above. This distinctive elongated shape is inspired by the shape of a squid, which came to Starck when squeezing lemon juice over some calamari in a pizzeria whilst on holidays in Italy.
About the Designer
Philippe Starck
Most likely influenced by his father, who worked as an aircraft engineer, Starck studied at the École Nissim de Camondo, Paris, and in 1968 set up his first company, which produced inflatable objects. Always interested in design as a total concept, in the 1970s he made a reputation for himself by creating interiors for clients such as the Paris nightclubs La Main Bleue (1976) and Les Bains-Douches (1978).
