Design Philippe Starck, 1998
Thermoplastic resin
Made in Italy by Alessi

Starck's output spans precision mechanisms (such as the clocks or the radio) and seemingly everyday objects, such as the Dr. Skud fly swatter. Great fun and a useful tool for the feeble hunter who prefers to go after small game. Look closely and you will see the visage of "Dr. Skud" in the upper portion. A beautiful gift box makes this an attractive and very affordable gift.

Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck has a wide range of design and is very well known for consumer goods and interiors. He was educated in Paris at the École Camondo and founded his first design firm in 1968. Among Starck's famous designs include stylized toothbrushes (1989) and a sleek juicer dubbed the Juicy Salif created for Alessi in 1990. The Juicy Salif has become an affordable and popular cult item.
Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombe, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
