Corkscrew
£90.00



Designed in 1993, this corkscrew belonged to the Twergi collection, born out of a desire to revitalize the ancient tradition of woodturning, typical of the area where Alessi is based. Twergi means "leprechaun" in the ancient Walser dialect spoken in the mountains surrounding the company: according to belief, these creatures related to humans by doing mischief but also favors such as teaching how to use wood from the forests. Fascinated by the lathe, Ettore Sottsass and others created objects that still prove relevant today.
Values Collection
A collection of unpublished objects to celebrate 100 years of research in the field of applied arts and the beginning of a new century of experimentation.
