Editor’s Notes:
Celebrations often start with a pop! The ‘crown cork’ has been sealing carbonated beverages for more than a century, and designers have been churning out openers ever since. The requirement is simple—a basic lever and prying edge—which has led to countless variations. Craighill created a churchkey-style bottle opener that quietly reflects the momentary joy of that action. The wave-like profile provides extra purchase when in use, and also adds visual and tactile interest. We challenge you to find a bottle opener that’s more satisfying to use. Salud!
