Alessi Corkscrew by Ettore Sottsass
Colourful wooden corkscrew
Characteristic for the extraordinary designs of Ettore Sottsass, this corkscrew is Twergi corkscrew in cheerful colours and various elements combined with each other. The organic shapes combine to create an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in the hand. Due to its colourful appearance, the wooden corkscrew becomes a playful accessory on the table even after use.
Part of the Twergi collection
Since 1989, Alessi has been reviving the centuries-old manufacturing tradition on the lathe. Many young designers were fascinated by the simplicity of the tool and have since designed various wooden products together with the famous designer Ettore Sottsass. The Twergi collection includes pepper mills, corkscrews, tins and bowls.
The Twergi corkscrew by Alessi is made in Italy from FSC-certified beech wood and is available in different colours.
Size: H 18 cm, Dia 6 cm
Ettore Sottsass
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.
