Juicy Salif Miniature - Squeezer by Alessi

"Alessi has developed a series named Miniature, comprising miniatures of classics, those Alessi products that have become design icons. Small sculptures that enrich our everyday life. Eleven "best-sellers", carefully chosen from the very top of the range, the most successful projects created over the course of the last sixty years. Objects that have filled the pages not just of Alessi's catalogues, but of magazines world-wide. Today they are made in miniature versions, perfectly reproducing the shape of the objects and the materials in which they are made. These miniatures thus comprise communicative gestures, small expressions of the recurrent desire to surround oneself with beautiful things that represent the physical expression of distinctive taste. From the "Bombé" teapot by Carlo Alessi to the "Mami" stockpot by Stefano Giovannoni, the many collectors amongst us will be spoilt for choice."

Alessi Italian manufacturing soared to new heights in the 20^th century and one company is synonymous with this lofty ascent. Beginning with coffee sets and trays and by the 1950s collaborating with international architects and designers including Ettore Sottsass, Alessi gained international popularity with its first cult object designed by Richard Sapper in 1978. Linking the present to the past, Sapper designed an espresso coffee pot. Philippe Starck was soon to follow with the Juicy Salif lemon squeezer, which has found its way into the Whitney Collection in New York. In fact, Alessi products can be found in museums across the world. Innovation and experimentation are two keys to understanding Alessi’s success.
