Alessi Nut cracker Metal Metal. Dimensions: L 4 cm x W 3,5 cm. The „Nut splitter“ was developed during the workshop on „Ethic and Design“ in July 2007. It's a small and gracious utensil made using steel precision casting and is a reminder of an ancient use in agricultural rural life: opening a nut with both hands with the help of a small punch. Our inspiration came from the little propellers of the maple tree's seeds: a sign of freedom and fusion. Using these nutcrackers, designed by Jim Hannon-Tan, is much more intuitive than it appears from the shape : you just have to insert the point between the two halves of the nut and rotate it to apply pressure. The ergonomic grip, which fits the fingers well, and the „soft“ contact with the polished precision cast stainless steel make the action a pleasurable experience. The item is carefully gift wrapped.> Flash sale: special price for a limited time only.
