Consisting of two sophisticated, minimalist parts - a stainless steel body and a transparent lid - the Toru juicer demonstrates Nendo’s ability to transform abstract concepts into tangible shapes. In Japanese, “toru” means “through”, and with this juicer, a black, tube-like element seems to pierce the lid, become its handles, and protrude from the steel body to act as a spout. This object is complicated to produce because the linear design requires a particularly challenging manufacturing process.

Toru, the stainless-steel appliance series designed by Nendo for Alessi, is a wonderful expression of the skill and care with which the company handles this material. “Toru” means “through” in Japanese and is a subtle reference to the black, tube-like elements that characterise the various objects in the collection. These elements fit elegantly into the stainless-steel body, acting sometimes as a spout, sometimes as a handle, to create a composition of cleverly ironic volumes.
