A di Alessi "Parrot" Sommelier / Waiter's Corkscrew - Light Blue

Sommelier-style corkscrew shaped and colored as a tropical parrot delights friends and family!

Founded in 1921 as a “Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry”, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products. In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”, capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types. Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.

Alessi’s mission is now one of translating its quest for the most advanced cultural, aesthetic, design and functional quality into mass production. Designer products are the result of the constant reconciliation of art and industry, of the “Immensity of Creative Potential” and the needs of the market. The company is committed to a design approach in which the most advanced expression of international creativity is always balanced against the desires of the general public. Alessi has been described as a “Dream Factory”, which uses its products to make people’s dreams come true, providing them with the Art and Poetry that they seek.

Since the introduction of Anna G. and Sandro M., we have all been waiting for a new element of surprise with corkscrew designs. Parrot is Mendini's answer. The practical, pocket-sized sommelier-style corkscrew has been a delightful surprise and best-seller. Mendini once again has drawn out a whimsical shape that seems to make so much sense for this tool while making it practical and easy to grip.
