100 years of Alessi - Limited Edition. The elegant design of Andrea Branzi's bottle opener is perfect for easily opening bottles with metal caps and crown caps. The corkscrew "Ercolino" is an exemplary object of Andrea Branzi's happy relationship with the expressive potential of turned wood. In his view, this is one of the best mediums for creating objects that can establish relationships that are not only functional but also psychological, symbolic, and poetic in nature. Made of 18/10 stainless steel and Italian birch wood (FSC). Andrea Branzi, born in 1938 in Florence, is an architect and designer. He has been a critic for the magazines Domus, Interni, Casabella, and Modo, is one of the founders of the Domus Academy, and is a member of the EU Commission for the promotion of European design.
