# Personified Seafaring Corkscrews This Suck UK Corkscrew Design Takes the Shape of a Pirate By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-01-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkscrew-design References: [suck.uk](https://www.suck.uk.com/products/legless-corkscrew/) This quirky corkscrew design from Suck UK cleverly transforms useful tools for bottle-opening, uncorking and cutting into the limbs of a pirate. The Legless Corkscrew designed by Nick Lerwill gives the pirate a blocky, makeshift leg made out of cork whenever a [bottle of wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-splitglass) is opened. The design of this [multi-tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xs-screwdriver) has parts that are not only practical, but also quite charming, since the character’s arms and legs move to serve a purpose and simultaneously animate the pirate. Although it's a bit abstract, the design is packed with pirate-like details, from the [earring-like hook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper) on the side of its head to its eyepatch and the parrot that subtly rests on one arm of the Legless Corkscrew. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quirky Corkscrew Designs:** Designing corkscrews in the shape of fun and interesting characters can add value and entice buyers. - **Animated Functional Multi-tools:** Multi-tools that have practical parts that move in interesting ways can attract consumers. - **Illustrative Character-based Tools:** Designing products to include whimsical characters can add visual interest to everyday objects. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Innovative and character-driven designs can be applied to an array of everyday kitchen tools and accessories. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Designing character-themed tools and accessories can appeal to consumers who enjoy and collect merchandise based on movies, TV shows, or other entertainment. - **Giftware:** Character-themed multi-tools and accessories make for unique and engaging gifts that can cater to many interests and personalities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine Bottle Cork Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qwikcork.md) - [Shark Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacray-shark-pocket-opener.md) - [Bat-Shaped Wine Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-and-beer-openers.md) - [Artistic Wine Opener Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-wine-opener.md) - [Dynamic Curved Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-opener.md) - [Decorative Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-bottle-opener1.md) - [Dynamic Mechanical Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryan-k.md) - [Bottle-Optimizing Wine Stoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-stopper-1.md) - [Hidden Bottle Opener Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leverage-watch.md)
