Plisse Electric Citrus Squeezer by Michele de Lucchi for Alessi
The Plissé electric juicer transforms an everyday kitchen appliance into a piece of small-scale domestic architecture. Its sculptural silhouette and expressive pleated form give it a distinctive presence, inviting it to remain on display rather than tucked away.
Combining considered aesthetics with everyday practicality, the Juicer is intuitive to use and easy to clean—designed to bring both visual character and effortless functionality to the ritual of preparing fresh, refreshing juice.

The “Plissé” shape is defined by its folds, a technique that is quite old but still very much in use today. With the skillful and creative use of pleating, fashion designers shape fabrics and create clothes like sculptural works of art. “Plissé was shaped starting from a folded sheet of paper, then developed and produced by Alessi as if it were a beautiful sartorial object. The folds give form to the shape, they structure it, because a form without folds is only a volume without form. The folds transform simple two-dimensional sheets into three-dimensional objects.”
