"Juicy Salif" Lemon Squeezer
This lemon squeezer has become an icon of late-twentieth-century design. It is not only eminently functional, but it is also an indisputably sculptural object. Starck's designs are frequently mysterious in their ambiguity—their purpose is not always at once identifiable.
