Alessi’s Juicy Salif citrus squeezer is a design icon from 1990. Juicy Salif was created by designer Philippe Starck during his seaside holiday in Italy. Starck took his inspiration from a dish of squid with lemon and drew sketches of Juicy Salif on a pizzeria mat. With the squeezer’s unconventional design, Starck challenged the principle “form follows function”. Besides squeezing lemons, the primary function of the unconventional, sculptural citrus squeezer is to start conversations.

With its subtly tapered legs and oval back—the couturier liked to upholster it in toile de Jouy—the Dior Medallion is, to Starck, the Platonic ideal of a chair, living in what he refers to as “the collective subconsciousness of Occident.” Similar seats graced his grandmother’s home, where he recalls spending days as a child sequestered beneath their slipcovers. “It was a small house for me,” he says. “I lived in the icon.”

FLOS has added two new products, designed by Philippe Starck, to its Bon Jour collection.

Alberto Alessi recalls the controversy surrounding Philippe Starck's stylish but impractical lemon squeezer, saying he considers it "a big joke".
