Utilitarian Fruit Peelers

The Giro Apple Slicer is Ideal for Snack Time

— August 11, 2012 — Art & Design
The minimalist design of the Giro apple slicer not only looks good, but creates the perfect spiraling peel as well. Designed by Christina Schäfer, the disc-like slicer is simplicity at its finest. Constructed of a solid piece of metal, the blade is tucked safely away until it's time to slice into the fruity meat.

Whether you want to create garnishes for drinks or avoid wasting any of the precious fruit, this utilitarian peeler is ideal for the job. Users simply need to twist and turn the metal disc, allowing the sharpened edge to shave the peel.

Awarded the Red Dot Design award, the Giro apple slicer is a no-frills device that does the job effortlessly while looking great in your kitchen drawer.
