Philippe Starck \"Juicy Salif\" Citrus Lemon Squeezer for Alessi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the late 20th century's classic pieces of design. The squeezer (\"Juicy Salif\") was designed by Philippe Starck in 1990. A calamari squid inspired the exotic-looking shape\u003cspan\u003e; the original drawings were quickly sketched onto a pizza-stained paper placemat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squeezer features in the permanent collection of MOMA, and the Met in New York, as well as the V\u0026amp;A in London.        \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is perhaps more of a sculptural display piece than a functional item that you could use all the time. The acids in the fruits tend to have a negative effect on the condition of the metal. It is also not dishwasher-friendly and needs to be washed by hand. I don't think that Starck ever intended this item to be functional thing, and he \u003cspan\u003ehas publicly stated it was \"not meant to squeeze lemons\" but \"to start conversations\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis squeezer is a great display piece and in excellent condition.
