Geometry by L'Atelier du Vin
The Geometry of Wine in a Designer Corkscrew Set
Just as wine is enveloped in a bottle, this stainless-steel bottle opener is encapsulated in a timeless, beautiful black lacquered wooden sculpture, designed by Margherita Matticari. Inside the minimalist box lies the Oeno Motion Gold corkscrew.
Its foolproof mechanism enables to effortlessly extract the cork, much to the delight of wine connoisseurs. This corkscrew, complete with a foil cutter discreetly located in the inner side of its jaw, provides a good grip and solid support on the neck. Simply push the lever down to plunge the worm into the cork and pull it up to effortlessly extract it.
Remove the corkscrew from the bottle and repeat this movement to release the cork from your authentic sommelier tool, in preparation of your next tasting experience. This back-and-forth movement is reflected by the subtle sliding motion of the sculpted Geometry box, which opens and closes like a tribute to the art of revealing and hiding, or the ancestral secrets of wine making.
What was behind the choice in materials?
We selected black lacquered wood for a touch of elegance and purity, using what is essentially the iconic color of luxury. We played on marrying black and gold to enhance the geometric shapes and create a striking emotion. Thus, when opened, the matte black serves to accentuate the shine and glimmer of Oeno Motion Gold.
Overall, Geometry is an interplay of shapes and perspectives which, as I see it, belongs on a mantlepiece, coffee table, or surrounded by books on a shelf.
Each piece is unique because they are all made by hand. Geometry serves as an invitation to add beautiful form and perfect function to your home.
GEOMETRY by Margherita Matticari
Paris-based Italian designer Margherita Matticari offers an authentic and unique vision that combines innovative design with outstanding craftsmanship. The result? Functional, elegant and timeless objects that are made to be used. Made for life. Geometry marks Margherita’s second collaboration with L’Atelier du Vin, after her exceptional design of the Nomad Collection in 2021.
Geometry: Is it a gift box or a sculpture?
Actually, it’s both! Our vision behind Geometry was to create a box/sculpture piece. Serving as a box, Geometry opens to reveal the iconic L’Atelier du Vin corkscrew, Oeno Motion Gold. At the same time, whether open or closed, Geometry is a sculpture and work of art in its own right.
