Based in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture, Lue is a workshop that crafts brass cutlery and lifestyle goods. They offer products that showcase the beautiful patina brass develops over time, garnering attention both domestically and internationally. In a recent collaboration with Holz, a shop in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, that curates lifestyle offerings, they have released a bottle opener. Lue crafted the brass portion, while Holz designed the teak wood handle. Though a simple combination of straight lines and circles, the product boasts a satisfying weight and comfortable grip, resulting in a piece that exudes warmth. The act of opening a bottle is sure to become a pleasure.
