Minimalist Bottle Openers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Stand-Up Bottle Opener' Hides the Lever Mechanism Underneath Its Stem

— August 11, 2016 — Art & Design
'Stand-Up Bottle Opener' relies on the utilitarianism of industrial design, demonstrating that pleasing form follows out of effective function. While most bottle openers that people use either come on the other side of a corkscrew or are gaudy, branded pieces that came free in a case of beer, the Stand-Up Bottle Opener's minimalist design is so subtle and straightforward that consumers might not even realize how to use it at first.

The subtlety of the Stand-Up Bottle Opener is no coincidence. Rather, designer Benjamin Kikic of Good Thing in Brooklyn, New York, put the opening mechanism beneath the device and allowed it to stand up so that it could be kept out as an appealing piece of interior design. Sitting on a kitchen table, the Stand-Up Bottle Opener could just as easily be mistaken for a centerpiece as it could be a bottle opener.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Design - The minimalist design trend presents opportunities for creating simple and aesthetically pleasing bottle openers.
2. Hidden Mechanism - The trend of concealing the opening mechanism offers possibilities for innovative and sleek bottle opener designs.
3. Multi-functional Objects - The trend of creating multi-functional objects opens up possibilities for bottle openers that also serve as decorative pieces or table centerpieces.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - The kitchenware industry can explore innovative and visually appealing bottle opener designs that complement minimalist interior designs.
2. Home Decor - The home decor industry can incorporate bottle openers with hidden mechanisms as stylish and functional decorative pieces.
3. Gifts and Souvenirs - The gifts and souvenirs industry can offer unique and practical bottle openers that can double as decorative items or conversation starters.
