Maison Forest & Audiard recently launched an artistic wine opener made of bronze that will effortlessly capture the attention of sommeliers, wine enthusiasts, and collectors. Known as the "ouvre-vin," this bespoke sculpture, was created by Forest Audiard. The piece is a unique reproduction of one's palm and is the first launch from a collection of "objects for living."
Ouvre-Vin stands out with its mysterious abstract shape that perfectly fits the closed hand when grasped. More than a mere corkscrew, it is an art object tailored for unconventional gourmets and aficionados of fine wines. In a sense, the artistic wine opener brings together art and the act of tasting.
Maison Forest & Audiard is a partnership between renowned French sculptor Michel Audiard and luxury entrepreneur Sébastien Forest. The venture aims to craft bespoke "objets d'art," including personalized pens, knives, and sabres, all sculpted in bronze to replicate and fit their owners' hands.
