[6] History [ edit ] A Juicy Salif mould at the Design Museum in London A lemon squeezer is a small kitchen utensil designed to extract juice from lemons or other citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, or lime. It is designed to separate and crush the pulp of the fruit in a way that is easy to operate. Lemon squeezers can be made from any solid, acid-resistant material, such as plastic, glass, metal (usually aluminium) or ceramic. The instructions explain simply how to use the juicer. However, it does not perform. I will break down the problems with the usability of the juicer in sections.

The oldest known lemon squeezers were found in Kütahya, Turkey and date to the first quarter of the 18th century. [1] These ceramic presses are in the traditional style of Turkish pottery of the 18th century and have a superficial resemblance to today's press equipment with cones, though they are designed differently. These examples were individually made, and specially designed for making the then popular citrus drink sorbet. Lemons are not native to northern Turkey, though during the 17th and 18th centuries they were imported in bulk to Constantinople.

reaction against minimalist, modernist design with its ‘form follows function’ principle. Postmodern playing underneath his father’s drawing board. Being around this influence of aeronautical invention impacted on many of his designs, including the Juicy Salif which has an aerodynamic form, allowing juice to flow down into a container.

[10] Critical reception [ edit ]Below you can find product review channel and their review on the Juicy Salif, the primary source where I used to find the issues with the Juicy Salif. It includes a video of the juicer being used as intended. Pips and Flesh- The juicer has no catchment area for seeds, pips, and flesh and so the user will have to fish out the seeds from the glass by hand, which is less than ideal. The instructions mention nothing of this, and so it is clear that this was not taken into consideration whilst it was designed. The typical fruit juicer has a flat bowl-like shape at the bottom to catch the juice, seeds and all, that can then be tipped to receive the liquid. This is the last in a series of five movies with Alberto Alessi, in which he discusses some of the Italian brand's most iconic products. Other designers have also developed innovative citrus squeezers, which respond to new usage scenarios by considering the ergonomic aspects their products as important as aesthetics. In 2009, Joseph Joseph introduced the Catcher, a pestle squeezer that filters out seeds, designed by Graeme Davies. In 2011, the Dutch company Royal VKB introduced the Citrange, a playful double sided hand juicer which can be placed straight onto the glass, designed by the Belgian designer Quentin de Coster.

Greasy and lemon-stained it depicts the very first doodles of what would become the now iconic Juicy Salif lemon squeezer. The sleek, exotic-looking shape was inspired by a calamari squid; the original drawings were sketched on a pizza-stained paper placemat. [7] [6] Sometimes design born by chance: the object appears for the first time in the designer mind at lunch, on the subway… and the history of design changes its path. At the end of the 19th century a large number of different models of lemon squeezers were patented in the United States. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office lists over 200 patents for lemon squeezers, the majority of which were registered between 1880 and 1910. The oldest of these patents was issued to Lewis S. Chichester on July 3, 1860 for a cast iron squeezer. The stated purpose of the invention was "to obtain a simple, economical and durable implement whereby lemons may be squeezed for domestic purposes with much less power and with far greater facility than by the ordinary squeezers in general use."

Messy- There are complaints that the juicer is messy, and will end up with more juice on your counter than in the glass. I would say this is dependant on the fruit you choose to juice.
