Alessi Virgula Divina Bottle Opener
Alessi Virgula Divina Bottle Opener - “Virgula Divina” is the Latin term used to identify the Y-shaped dowsing rod, an indispensable tool for the dowser in his search for water or other hidden treasures. The art of dowsing or divination is the inspiration for the bottle opener designed by Frédéric Gooris, to which he refers both in the name and in the enigmatic shape of his concept. A perfect drawing transformed in a practical bottle opener: It has the ideal shape to grab the cap of the bottle, while the other endings are soft and natural, giving a comfortable grip. The compact size means you can carry the object with you wherever you go, making it suitable for both domestic and professional use.
Designed: 2017
Bottle opener in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished.
Size: H 1.4 cm, L 10.6 cm, 5.6 cm
