Can you walk us through how Le Brasseur, the bottle opener you designed for L’Atelier du Vin, came to be?
The story of Le Brasseur began with an observation. L’Atelier du Vin and I picked up on the craft beer craze and noticed natural sodas and water also being enjoyed in returnable glass bottles. Our goal was to make these moments of tasting and enjoyment all the more joyful and relaxed. Enter Le Brasseur: the easy-to-use bottle opener!
How would you describe Le Brasseur’s personality?
Making it person-shaped was no accident; we wanted Le Brasseur to be like your new friend at the table. Le Brasseur was designed from a single conical block inspired by chess pieces for comfortable handling. The openings at the top and bottom make it possible to uncap bottles from both sides. At 130 g, the weight, shape and design thus offer flawless bottle opening with total ease.
What about the materials?
We chose cast iron because it is a hard-wearing, noble material that offers a perfect match for Le Brasseur’s character. Its varnished matte black cast iron was made to stand the test of time with enduring elegance. Le Brasseur blends in seamlessly on any table. It includes a waterproof synthetic leather pad at the base for soft and safe use on glass tables and other delicate surfaces. And, as part of the wider family of L’Atelier du Vin’s Wine Tools, the brand’s logo is nestled on a golden crest – a nod to the color of beer.
All in all, Le Brasseur is an exemplary object that is an absolute must for delicious tastings and good company.
