A legendary architect’s eyeglasses elevate an ordinary, everyday tool. 

Ordinary bottle opening is elevating to an aesthetic endeavor with this modern tool. The Architect Bottle Opener is inspired by the shape of the eyeglasses worn by one of the legendary pioneers of modern architecture, the Swiss-French architect, designer and urban planner Le Corbusier. Made from zinc alloy, you can use either “lens” to open bottles while grasping the other. Both the bottle opener's designer, Constantin Boym, and Le Corbusier’s work is represented in MoMA’s collection. The Architect Bottle Opener measures 0.75h x 7.4w x 2"d.

Why We Chose This
Le Corbusier's round, thick-rimmed eyeglasses—the inspiration for this bottle opener—were a deliberate choice. Commissioned from Parisian eyewear shop Maison Bonnet, the shape of the frames reflected the architect's use of geometric forms and clean, minimalist lines. This signature accessory went on to influence other architects, such as Philip Johnson who wore a similar pair.
