CITRUS ONE is a conceptual kitchen appliance designed to simplify the process of extracting juice from citrus fruits. Unlike traditional juicers, which require cutting the fruit and generating waste, CITRUS ONE introduces a new approach: extracting juice directly from a whole orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit without the need for slicing.
The product combines a precision food-grade extraction needle, a controlled pressure system, and an integrated filtration mechanism to access the fruit's juice while minimizing mess and preparation time. Users simply place the fruit inside the device, initiate the extraction process, and receive fresh juice directly into a glass.
Inspired by minimalist consumer products and modern kitchen aesthetics, CITRUS ONE is designed to be intuitive, compact, and visually elegant. The appliance reduces the number of preparation steps, minimizes cleanup requirements, and improves the overall user experience.
Beyond convenience, the concept promotes sustainability by reducing unnecessary waste, simplifying maintenance, and encouraging the consumption of fresh fruit. Its compact footprint and clean design language allow it to integrate naturally into contemporary kitchens.
CITRUS ONE reimagines one of the most familiar kitchen activities through a user-centered design approach, transforming juice extraction into a faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable experience.
The project demonstrates how a simple redesign of a common household appliance can create meaningful innovation by improving usability, efficiency, and everyday interaction.
