Yves Behar has partnered with San Francisco startup Juicero to design a home juicer that uses pre-packaged sachets of fruit and vegetables (+ slideshow).
The Juicero machine is described by the company as "farm-to-glass", and relies on a similar system to Nespresso coffee machines ? using sachets of ready-prepared produce.

The packets of washed and chopped fruit and vegetables are loaded into the front of the juicer, which features a door made from aircraft-grade aluminium and a rubber-lined storage space.
A central button is pushed to activate the machine's press, which exerts pressure equivalent to more than 3,600 kilograms to create a nutrient-rich juice.
"Juicero is the first company to make cold-pressed juice something that people can make themselves at home," Behar told Dezeen. "The challenges to design and engineer a press that can deliver 8,000 pounds of force are tremendous."
"The goal was to balance the organic with the mechanical, with the exterior aluminium door showing both its quality and structural integrity," said the designer, who has been working with Juicero for the last two years to develop the machine.
