Ast

client - DANIEL Edition, FR

The bottle opener's name is lent from the German word for branch. It is a poetic object that evokes an elegant gesture.

Ast is a contemporary interpretation of a design approach rooted in Viennese modernism, a period known for artful objects based on craft with a symbolic, geometric vocabulary.

The manufacturing process is integral to the product's design identity. Only a few processing steps are necessary to produce Ast, resulting in an artful simplicity. It allows the curious observer to trace the narrative of the manufacturing process in the directness of the object.
