Juicy Salif lemon squeezer for Alessi

The pick of the day is this sexy Juicy Salif lemon squeezer for Alessi.

Perhaps the most famous example of this is the Juicy Salif, designed by Philippe Starck in 1990. It is considered an icon of industrial design that has been displayed in museums such as New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Originally, it was inspired by squeezing a lemon over a squid in a sea food restaurant, but many observers think it looks like a spider. It is manufactured by Italian kitchenware company Alessi. Its diameter is 14 cm, height 29 cm, and it is made from cast and polished aluminum.

Eero Aarnio ball chair

Design by Eero Aarnio, 1963.
Fiberglass shell, upholstery.
Made in Finland by Adelta.

The Ball Chair was designed by using one of the most simple geometric forms: the ball. By lopping off one end and fixing it at one point Eero Aarnio comes to a remarkable result - a supremely unconventional chair. A Ball Chair is a 'room within a room' with a cozy and calm atmosphere, protected from outside noises it provides a private space for relaxing or a phone call.
The ball chair is something between a piece of furniture and a piece of architecture and at the same time embodies both the mobile and the established. I always wanted one of them. You can find them for sale at www.hivemodern.com

Idealist - dreamed projects

With Jonas Samson’s high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it’s possible to use a two-dimentional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.

Few days ago I stumbled upon this great website Idealist.
