RODENT

A minimalist bottle opener designed as an original product of WELD DESIGN STORE.

Utilizing 3D pipe laser processing, only the part for uncorking bottles was designed, engineered, and cut with minimal processing while maintaining the charm of a freshly cut oval pipe.

The pipe itself has a shape that fits comfortably in the hand and has a moderate weight. When the hole is placed on top of the cap faced down, it brings about a spatial harmony as if it were just a pipe being placed mid-air.

The specially-made hole is a universal design that can be pulled down or up to remove the cap, and its shape resembles the structure of a rodent’s tooth, hence the name RODENT.
