234

234 was inspired by the annoying occurance of never being able to find a bottle opener. It was obvious that the most sensible place to put it was near or on the fridge, the only place I ever-kept bottles! The idea of using a magnetic surface or a small powerful magnet to attach it too the fridge became the simplest solution. The graphic shape was derived from the most basic primary shapes needed to create a bottle opener a circle and a handle.

The opener is laser cut from Stainless steel, a powerful ceramic magnet is recessed into one side and a small kick is added to the end to enable easy removal from the fridge.
