Lékué’s Citrus Spray

An atomiser for citrus fruits by Papila Studio in collaboration with Joanrojeski

Once again, Spanish company Lékué has wowed us with another of its inventive pieces of kitchenware – Citrus Spray, an atomiser that sprays citrus flavoursy by Papila Studio in collaboration with Joanrojeski. It’s a simple but highly ingenious utensil that transforms citrus fruits – from small lemons to larger grapefruits – into a natural container, and prevents the loss of vitamins and oxidisation of juice. A nozzle (in two sizes) can be easily plunged into the fruit, while a ring at the nozzle’s base firmly grips the fruit. The nozzle extracts the juice, then sprays it as a fine mist over dishes of food, drinks and cocktails. Citrus Spray also comes with a base you can rest the fruit on, so it can be left on a dining table, and its spray mechanism can be easily repaired and reused with other fruit.
