I have coveted, admired, dribbled over the Phillip Starck juicer for, oh, about twenty years. Starckie himself said, "Its purpose is to start conversations, not make juice." Well. Why should something so beautiful perform such a mundane function? Because, like a cast iron pot belly stove or a wooden boat, if it don't work, you can only look at it for so long.
It works. Joy. And I HAVE one. It's mine. A tiny wooden house makes for the judicious pruning of possessions that lack beauty or usefulness - and this icon of design makes me very, very happy. Thanks, Our Sunshine!
Really gorgeous design, and practical too by the look of it. I have never seen one of those.
ReplyDeleteAlways room for something so elegant. I'm sure the juice tastes great, too!
ReplyDeletewere i to have ever seen one of those somewhere, i'd have had no idea what it was for. but now, thanks to you, if i do ever see one, and whoever i'm with doesn't know what it's for, i can be all pompous about it. "well, duh, it's for making juice. how could anyone not know that?"
ReplyDeleteIt's funny finding a place to put it in my raggedy old kitchen. Somehow it just belongs in one of those sleeked out stainless steel jobbies - but it ain't going there, juice is staying with me! Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteMmm I'm Chrissie today.
ReplyDeleteThink I saw one of those on that ABC show The Collectors , spacey looking thing hate to drop in on yer foot lol
