Typica, a London-based creative platform from designer Noam Bar Yohai, recently launched its HALO Bottle Opener on Kickstarter, where the project met its funding goal after just one day.
The design-forward bottle opener is made with a durable stainless steel material, and can be purchased in three different finishes: PVD Gold, Black Oxide, and Polished Stainless Steel. Due to its halo-shaped design, the bottle opener can be used in all orientations, and can also be stored on the neck of a beer bottle—ensuring it's always handy for when it's needed. To open a bottle, all users need to do is align the ring so it catches the side of the cap, and then move it in an upwards or downwards motion.
Typica also includes a leather carrying case with the HALO Bottle Opener so that it can be carried in style.
