Alessi bulla bottle opener
- A mysterious
- Organic shape for a practical object The “Bulla” bottle opener is designed by Valerio Sommella for Alessi
- This project is part of the “Objet Bijoux” collection
- “Bulla” is the result of reflection into the adoption of natural shapes that do not immediately reveal their origins but which
- Even without explicitly announcing it
- May have a purpose
- Bulla is like a smooth shell
- Egg-shaped with a long opening: the bottle opener is compact
- Its smooth polished surface pleasing to the touch
- The black leather cord completes the object and allows “Bulla” to be hung up in the kitchen or enables you to take it wherever you go
