FS Objects designs minimal metal bar tools
FS Objects, the homeware division of Brooklyn studio Fort Standard, has launched a collection of designs for drinking that includes wine stoppers with simple polished steel and brass tops.
The series of products for enjoying alcohol includes two stopper designs, a corkscrew, a cocktail pick, and stone platters.
The wine stoppers, names Mass, comprise simple metallic shapes atop tapered cork plugs. Made of brass or stainless steel, the tops come in two shapes: a sphere, or a cylinder with a rounded bottom and a flat top. These are polished to a mirror finish, and appears to float above the bottle when inserted.
Another design in the studio's drinking range is the Collet corkscrew, which features two parts. The detachable steel spiral screw fits inside a brass cylinder when not in use.
"The slender body holds a steel corkscrew spiral inside of a split sheath reminiscent of a collet," Fort Standard said.
A collet is a sleeve or socket that forms a collar around an object, with a clamping mechanism to be held strongly.
For it to function, the screw is removed and a loop at its head is fitted over the cylindrical bar. Once it forms a T-shape, "a satisfying snap" happens, FS Objects said. One end of the cylinder can also be used as a bottle opener.
Nautical shapes and tools strongly informed some of the other bar tools by the studio, which is based close to the sea in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
