Yuue Design Studio delivers three functional and decorative bottle openers that are inspired by classic Chinese architecture, specifically the patterns you might find in a window. The modest collection includes one hexagonal, one rectangular, and one semi-circular bottle opener design. Dubbed the Viuu Bottle Opener, the kitchen tool is slick and minimalist. It has no handle. The silhouettes actually "look like some pieces of baubles or knick-knacks lying around but they do serve a very important purpose."
Yuue Design Studio's Viuu Bottle Opener is undoubtedly a great present for design-minded individuals and architects. The project is a great example of how design firms are honing in on very specific EDC tools, making them luxurious and interesting.
