Brass Bottle Opener – Frame

Description

I am WAKU, a Frame shape bottle opener. A frame is a support system, much like the friends that gather around me with refreshing, cold brews. Everyone has a role, and mine comes in handy when you need it the most. Cheers!

Curator’s Notes

We love this bottle opener because it is attractive and provokes curiosity. It’s Frame shape is not only extremely functional but is beautifully refined in a way that could also act as an interesting display object.
