I can't help but think of the giant robots that dominated humanity in War of the Worlds when I see the Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus-Squeezer. This spidery juicer was designed by Philippe Starck, and currently has a home in the MOMA.
The Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus-Squeezer can have a place in your home as well--for a price. While $96 dollars for a juicer may seem like a lot, think about what you are really getting here: a reproduction of a piece of art that is MOMA-worthy! Budgets be damned, this juicer is a double-threat as a juicer or a mantle-based conversation starter. Count me in.
