Lemon squeezer

Lemon squeezers can be made from any solid, acid-resistant material, such as plastic, glass, metal (usually aluminium) or ceramic.

These examples were individually made, and specially designed for making the then popular citrus drink sorbet.

[1] At the end of the 19th century a large number of different models of lemon squeezers were patented in the United States.

[3][4] Manufactured by Italian kitchenware company Alessi and made from cast and polished aluminium, it is 14 centimetres (5.5 in) in diameter, and 29 cm (11 in) high.

Starck has publicly stated that his squeezer was "not meant to squeeze lemons" but "to start conversations".

[7] Other designers have also developed innovative citrus squeezers, which respond to new usage scenarios by considering the ergonomic aspects their products as important as aesthetics.
