The corkscrew according to Ettore Sottsass: a tool both effective and emotional. Easy to use: the designed volumes reveal an ergonomic shape that is comfortable to hold. Made in Italy, near where Alessi is based, using a partly hand-crafted turning process with wood from sustainably managed forest. Coloured with water-based and totally solvent-free paints that are sustainable for the environment and not harmful to human health.

Edward F. ★★★★★

Italians really know how to make everyday things feel special—this opener is a small sculpture that actually works perfectly. The grip is balanced so well that twisting the cork out takes almost no effort at all. Makes me smile every time I pull it from the drawer.

Penelope B. ★★★★★

The handle's sculpted shape fits my palm so naturally that opening bottles feels almost automatic now. It's a small piece of design that makes a daily ritual genuinely more pleasant, and you can tell it was made with real care.

Amelia U. ★★★★★

The sculpted shape isn’t just pretty—it’s genuinely comfortable in the hand, and the leverage makes opening even stubborn bottles feel effortless. It’s a small piece of design that actually works, and the Italian craftsmanship shows in every smooth turn.
