“Redesign a food processor…” Royal College of Art brief

The Lapjuicer is intended to be used by a lap-dancer in a club. The performer uses their body with the object, in order to extract fruit juices that can be drunk by one or more spectators.

Imagine someone making your favourite cocktail with a Lapjuicer… it’s for girls and boys – who do you want to see using it?

The Lapjuicer embodies a step beyond the strict ‘look but don’t touch’ policies enforced in many clubs…

“you can’t touch – but you can drink my juice…”

The Museum of Sex on 5th Avenue in New York now has a Lapjuicer as part of its permanent collection.

Initially a seven day project that resulted in a prototype model in Autumn 2003, this project was revisited in Spring 2005.
