The Wood Bottle Openers from Areaware are Ruggedly Minimalist
Gil Cohen — March 7, 2013 — Art & Design
Nothing is more rugged than a hunk of wood with a nail sticking out of it, making the design of these wood bottle openers as fuss-free as possible.
For the manly man who abhors all things shiny and flashy, or the minimalist who appreciates form and function, this bottle cap remover is as basic as it gets. The door-stopper shape has an ergonomic design that is easy to grip, and a discreet magnet at the back will stick to the fridge or beer cooler, making it easy to find when grabbing a cold one. The bent nail grips the lid and pops it off with ease, making it as simple as a flick of the wrist.
This collection of wood bottle openers comes in natural walnut that can be dipped into various colors.
