Alessi GIA02 Uselen Stainless Steel Hummingbird Letter Opener

$38.40

Bring a little design flair to your morning post -

The Alessi Uselen Stainless Steel Letter Opener confirms once more that Alessi are the masters at adding a sense of flair and fun to the most utilitarian of products. Here we see Giulio Lacchetti infuse a subtle sense of occasion to the humble letter opener. This graceful design is new from Alessi in 2011 and part of a series that sets out to invigorate those everyday humdrum office products.

Those graceful lines may look deceptively simple but as you can see there have been many prototype iterations before Lacchetti found the perfect form. Designed to look like a Hummingbird, the sharper tail end is ideal for swiftly entering the unsuspecting envelope and the broader beak end fits snugly in the hand allowing you to open up your letters with ease.

‘Uselen’ apparently means ‘bird’ in the dialect of Cremona, Italy - and this bird is manufactured from high quality stainless steel. It has a mirror polished finish and arrives in an attractive gift box – making it an appealing gift idea.
