An image of the Juicy Salif was featured on the front cover of Donald Norman's book Emotional Design. In my work with the Modernist Collection at the Museum, I was to come across an object that I would later discover to be the most controversial lemon squeezer in history—at least, that is how designer Philippe Starck describes it.

A truly iconic object and symbol not only of Philippe Starck but of Alessi itself, this citrus squeezer - as revolutionary as it is surprisingly functional - was sketched in its essentials by Starck during a holiday by the sea in Italy, on a pizzeria napkin. The iconic Alessi Philipps Starck Juicer - also known as the 'Juicy Salif' has to be one of the most recognisable items from the Alessi range.Classic/Fantastic: Selections from the Modern Design Collection," December 21, 2007–April 5, 2009, no catalogue.

Classic, great, but unfortunately 2 out of 3 of the small rubber plugs that it is on came off right away.The thousands of projects - complete or forthcoming - his global fame and tireless protean inventiveness should never distract from Philippe Starck's fundamental vision: Creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. Apparently, there is a famous puzzle in mathematics and physics courses that asks, "Why does a mirror reverse left and right, but not up and down? The cooperation was built on the company’s will to create eco-friendly, contemporary plastic furniture and the designer's particular style. A truly iconic object and symbol, not only of Philippe Starck but of Alessi itself, this citrus squeezer - as revolutionary as it is surprisingly functional - was sketched in its essentials by Starck during a holiday by the sea in Italy, on a pizzeria napkin. Sketched on the paper tablecloth of a restaurant during a tripto Italy, Juicy Salif's biomorphism is striking.
