Italian Letter Opener

Italian Letter Opener

$0.00

Italian design is unparalleled in the marriage of function and aesthetic. This wonderfully designed letter opener is an example of such statement, it's the restrictive use of materials which come together to create a useful tool that make this object so special. Patinated brass and polished obsidian come together in a way that makes absolute sense, something the user will realize by simply picking the opener up and holding it in their hand. The lightweight carefully formed brass comes to an unthreatening point, extending away from the heavyweight chamfered edge Obsidian handle. Opening letters is as simple as a flick as the center of gravity rests in the palm of your hand.
