Alessi - Michele De Lucchi - Gyümölcsfacsaró - Plissé - Hőre lágyuló gyanta

This Plissé electric citrus-squeezer was designed by Michele De Lucchi. The plissé is a highly iconic form that De Lucchi has taken for its cheerful and festive spirit. It comes from the fashions of the 50s and 60s when pleated skirts created stunning effects of floaty and frothy fabrics, but the plissé is still a very contemporary sign today. Objects, like pieces of furniture, do not only work when they are in use, but they also work as presences lling space. He states that ''objects have to have a formal, aesthetic and symbolic meaning as well as being highly evocative, even when they are not being used''.

The “Plissé” citrus juicer is like a little architectural gem with multifaceted surfaces, a sculptural object that becomes a presence in the home thanks to its formal and decorative appeal. Made from thermoplastic resin, with the sieve insert of stainless steel. To complement the design even further, the device is equipped with an automatic start and stop system that ensures no button is needed/visible.

This citrus juicer is in new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging and documents

Please read the manual before using the device. European plug (80W).

About Alessi:
Alessi, a renowned Italian design brand founded in 1921 Giovanni Alessi, has become a symbol of cutting-edge design and innovative craftsmanship, especially in Postmodernism and Contemporary design as well as some Bauhaus objects. Over the decades, it has collaborated with iconic designers such as Alessandro Mendini, Aldo Rossi, Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass (a founder of the Memphis group), Michael Graves, Marcel Wanders, Richard Sapper, Zaha Hadid, the Bouroullec brothers, Tom Kovac, Toyo Ito, Jean Nouvel, Ron Arad, and Gio Ponti. These collaborations have cemented Alessi's reputation for creating timeless, functional pieces that double as works of art. The most celebrated design is Philippe Starck's Juicy Salif citrus squeezer, which almost became Alessi’s brand symbol in the minds of design lovers. This makes Alessi a brand with high impact and rich marriage with fundamental design DNA. More recently, a collaboration with Virgil Abloh's creative agency infused a fresh, modern sensibility into Alessi’s offerings.
