Kitchen Objects That Became Design Classics
A kettle can whistle like a bird, a corkscrew can dance and a coffee maker can resemble a miniature building. These eight Alessi objects show how designers transformed ordinary kitchen rituals through character, proportion and a useful idea. Their appeal begins with function, but rarely ends there.
Juicy Salif
Philippe Starck · 1990
Part kitchen tool, part tiny visitor from another planet, Philippe Starck’s 1990 citrus squeezer makes a familiar action look completely unfamiliar. Its polished aluminium body balances on three long legs, leaving room for a glass below. The object’s appeal lies in that unlikely meeting of a practical task and a wonderfully theatrical silhouette.
