This bowl was inspired by Philippe Starck's iconic Alessi lemon squeezer. I 3D printed it in blue resin, but have since found it challenging to locate a skilled cast maker capable of producing it in the desired metal finish.

The design was intended to bring the elegance of mechanical gears into a more refined setting. I first made several prototypes out of laser cust acrylic before deciding it needed to be cast in steel. I designed and sketched the form and my colleage Teng Yu rendered it in CAD.
