The juicer is now considered as an icon of contemporary industrial design; it even earned its place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. However, the juicer itself according to Starck was intended to be a conversation piece rather than a juicer. In 1989, Alessi originally approached the Italian designer to design a stainless steel tray, but after a trip to a ...
