Michael Hemsworth — May 26, 2016 — Art & Design
At first sight, the geometric form of the Ico Bottle Opener by Fort Standard makes it look like a work of art, but it's only upon closer inspection and use that the true purpose is revealed.
Featuring a series of geometrical angles, the Ico Bottle Opener by Fort Standard actually features a total of 60 bottle-opening sections throughout the unit's design. The product is made from bronze and, surprisingly, is created using a 3D printer which shows the unlimited purposes that are possible with the new printing technology.
The artistic, geometric form of the Ico Bottle Opener by Fort Standard makes it a beautiful piece to be placed on a coffee table or on one's desk. The device only comes to life when desired and otherwise looks like a small geometrical sculpture.
