With the squeezer’s unconventional design, Starck challenged the principle “form follows function”. Besides squeezing lemons, the primary function of the unconventional, sculptural citrus squeezer is to start conversations.

“Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, fun: this is how I see my duty as a creator.” Philippe Starck. Despite his thousands of projects – completed or in the making – his global fame and his tireless protean inventiveness, we must never forget the essential. Philippe Starck has a mission and a vision: creation, whatever shape it...
