ABOUT

Professional or Pro-sumer citrus juicer. Lime Slicing Juicer solves a simple problem by offering the convenience of slicing the citrus fruit as it is being squeezed, and allows the user to eject the spent rind halves with a tip of the thumb. A prize for any casual cocktail artist or professional mixologist, the simple slicing juicer enables efficiency, reduces clutter and the need for knives and cutting boards, and features integrated and swappable zesting tools.

Inspired by the Inventor, “a hand squeeze juicer that cuts and juices limes at the same time”, the challenge to design the best solution drove qualitative research with lead users. Establishing the basic specifications having ranked the value of featuresets as dictated by quantitative analysis, we set off to sketch the possible futures within our framework.

Finally, we built, tested, and refined successive prototypes to test functionality, user impact, and the potential material performance of both plastics and metal.
