Juicy Salif Studio n.3

Wasn't sure about spending this much on something that squeezes lemons, but the heft of the aluminum and that spidery silhouette sold me the second I unboxed it. Number 419 of 999, and it's already the piece everyone asks about on my kitchen shelf. Citrus duty is honestly secondary.

The spider-like legs make it surprisingly stable on the counter, and the brushed finish looks even better in person than in photos. Being number 400-something of only 999 makes it feel like a genuine collector's piece rather than just a juicer.

Waited two years for this to arrive and it was worth it — the numbered edition of 999 is stamped right on the base. It's a sculpture that happens to juice a lemon, and honestly it looks even better in person than in the photos.
