Description

The Juicy Salif by Philippe Starck for Alessi — one of the best-known design icons of the 20th century: polished cast aluminium, a ribbed body like a squid, three long splayed legs. One leg is marked STARCK ALESSI.

The story

Starck is said to have designed it in 1990 on a paper napkin in a pizzeria on Capri while eating squid. Alessi produced it, and it became the most-discussed kitchen object there is: critics call it impractical, museums exhibit it, and Starck himself is said to have remarked that it is not there to squeeze lemons but to start conversations.

The execution

Cast aluminium, hand-polished, uncoated — as the original has been built since 1990. The ribs run cleanly and evenly, the legs stand firm.
