This helix-inspired cocktail shaker was designed by Fred Bould of Nambé. It is a wonderful example of how style and functionality can be integrated.
Implications - The shaker comes in a shape that's unconventional compared to the normal shakers most are used to. The beautifully designed alcoholic accessory has a pointed tip with a spiraling body that gives it a sleek aerodynamic design; think of it as a teardrop if you want a more specific visualization. To top off the slick design, the item is colored in shiny silver, which gives it a luxurious aesthetic that most would welcome into the home. Outside of its looks, it's simple to operate with a twist operation (much like its name suggests) that requires little effort and minimal hassle.
