Designed by Michele de Lucchi, the Plissé Citrus Squeezer from Alessi combines function and design, revealing its creator's architectural background.Engineered from thermoplastic resin, the electric squeezer features a pleating design that transforms it into a three-dimensional shape. Easy to use and clean, the handy device makes squeezing lemons a hassle-free process. A beautiful object for both display and use, the citrus squeezer's design is reminiscent of an haute couture dress.&nbsp;Since it was founded in 1921, Alessi has prided itself on manufacturing its pieces by cold-working metals. The tradition is still alive today as the technique is still used by skilled workers at the Crusinallo workshop in Omegna.
