Bottle opener designed to save time while serving drinks on the bar table. Barmen can open the bottle with the use of one hand, as the opener is placed on the corner of the table. It is produced from one single metal sheet, bent and cut, without waste of materials in the process.

The project tries to solve the problem of using two hands every time you need to open a bottle, as with the use of only one hand the time of the action is reduced. Even if it doesn't seem such a big reduction, you can imagine when a lot of beers or bottles have to be served quickly to numerous customers, for example in a disco or a bar: when the movement is few seconds quicker, the barmen serve more drinks in less time.

With a plastic model, you can see here how the opener works: the cap of the bottle remains between two hinges, exactly like the standard bottle opener; with the use of a lever, the cap comes off.
