Design and collaboration sits at the very foundation of our identity. We value quality and unobtrusive design that fulfils an imperative function, design that is restrained and long-lasting.
As such, we seek to collaborate with like-minded designers and artisans right down to the simplest of items.
This month we introduce you to the Prise Bronze Bottle Opener – a highly sculptural and bold take on a utilitarian essential. An object intended to be seen, appreciated and used frequently rather than hidden in a drawer.
Designed by Studio Henry Wilson and forged using time-honoured techniques, Prise was designed in collaboration with The Calile to provide guests with a small moment of design that possesses both functionality and beauty.
While most will think of bright brick archways and cool, green-tiled pool when thinking of ‘The Calile’ – we think it’s the small details that really frame a place, that make it clear that someone has considered every moment of your stay. Glass carafes in room for ice cold filtered water refills on every floor, soft pebbled leather day-beds for soft naps and yes, even a tactile, weighty bottle opener for prising open a bottle of something cool and bubbly.
Hand forged in Sydney and found atop our in-room credenzas, Prise strikes a highly sculptural form, with the tactile and robust bronze materiality hinting at its tool-like utility.
“With an emphatically sculptural design and rich, tactile finish, the Prise Bronze Bottle Opener embodies a mid- century aesthetic, the practicality of traditional tools, and the signature of a changeless, exacting production process, “says Henry Wilson.
