While the shift towards technological products in all aspects of consumer life is showing little sign of slowing down, there is a resonating existence of manual products like the 'Gridy' Citrus Juicer that combat against the shift.
Created using a special resin (SAN) or a clear plastic acrylic (PMMA) that replaces glass, the 'Gridy' works effortlessly to juice citrus fruits without the need for electricity. The design-conscious aesthetic of the juicer was created by Serge Atallah who won a Red Dot Design Award for the kitchen accessory concept.
