Juicy Salif Miniature Citrus-Squeezer by Phillippe Starck

With meticulous attention to the intricacies of the shape and materials used to make the original, Alessi has reproduced in miniature form the "Juicy Salif" Citrus-Squeezer as designed by Philippe Starck. Crossing many design borders and boundaries, Philippe Starck best describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American art director, a German industrial designer, a French artistic director, and an Italian furniture designer". It is through all of these inspirations that he builds each of his designs for functional, yet aesthetically effective, household products. Over the course of the years, the "Juicy Salif" Citrus-Squeezer has become an icon of modern design. Once criticized for impractical design, it now stands in the MOMA in New York as one of the elite historical greats of design. Originally designed to resemble a spider, Starck has transformed an everyday kitchen item into a true work of art for display and use in your kitchen.

Alessi has unveiled a series of miniatures comprising a number of classics from the last sixty years of their production. This collection includes iconic designs such as the "Anna G." Corkscrew by Alessandro Mendini (1945) and the "9093" Signature 67oz Kettle with Bird Whistle by Michael Graves. This impressive series was created with avid collectors of Alessi products in mind to give them the chance to complete their private collections of authentic Alessi products.
