O Wine Bottle Opener
Made by Shibui
Designed by Athanasios Babalis
The O Wine Bottle Opener distills the corkscrew to its essential gesture. Designed by Athanasios Babalis, its circular form holds both brass and stainless steel in quiet equilibrium, making the act of opening a bottle a considered one.
Babalis conceived the piece for Shibui, a small family-owned company based in northern Greece whose philosophy centers on slowness, precision, and the value of objects made by hand. Each opener reflects that sensibility: solid in the hand, deliberate in proportion, and finished with the care that comes from a workshop where scale is kept intentional.

Who designed the O Wine Bottle Opener?

Where is the Shibui O Wine Bottle Opener made?
Shibui is a family-owned company that operates in northern Greece. Production is kept small and hands-on, which shapes the quality and consistency of each piece.

Shibui draws its name and spirit from the Japanese concept of quiet, understated beauty. The brand's objects are designed to age gracefully and to reward close attention, prioritizing material quality and restrained form over trend.
