Monopol - Bottle opener and corker AH-SO MONOPOL Two-Prong Cork Puller AH-SO, chrome-plated MONOPOL Two-Prong Cork Puller AH-SO, chrome-platedWaiter's friend, super fine polished, satin-finished, two hardened steel prongs embrace the cork, without damaging it, thus ideal also for brittle corks. MONOPOL offers a specially sharpened cutting thread. The cutting thread “cuts” its way softly through the cork and does not press it apart. A breakage of the cork when pulling it out is almost impossible because of the wide, flat pulling surface of the thread. Two hardened steel prongs embrace the cork Thus ideal also for brittle corks With decorative casing With cap opener Dimensions: 4.33 inches x 2.55 inches x 0.39 inches Weight: 70 g Material: handle zinc-die casting, chrome-plated Casing steel chrome-plated Steel-prongs Manufacturer Art.-No.: 6285556C How to use and to care: First enter the longer prong between cork and bottle neck. Then apply twisting downwards movement until the handle touches the top of the bottle. By simultaneous turning and pulling the cork can easily be removed from the bottle. It is also possible to re-cork the bottle using the Ah-So following the steps in the opposite way round. The steel prongs are factory-wise treated with a foodfriendly grease and should be lubricated again from time to time with a drop of cooking oil. Please wipe Ah-So dry after every use.

Idea

g_cork was born from the encounter between two realities that make innovation related to the recovery of materials, one of the fundamental aspects of their corporate identity: Mixcycling, innovative startup in the creation of sustainable materials from waste fibers, and Alisea. Two companies that contaminate each other, sharing know-how, values and vision with the common goal of recovering industrial waste to create sustainable design objects with high added value.

 

Design

g_cork is a design stopper. It combines patents and materials in circular economy: Zantech (patented by Alisea and made of 100% Upgraded Recycled Graphite) and Sughera (patented by Mixcycling and made of 70% recycled cork). The two materials blend together thanks to an innovative co-molding system NGS (No Glue System). Design by Marta Giardini and Mixcycling.

Sughera, in the 6 different colors, only uses pigments of vegetable origins (FDA certified), suitable for contact with food.

Shape and design

The iconic shape of the g_cork head is designed with a single flat side both to prevent the cork from coming into contact with any impurities and to give it stability when placed on any surface.
