There are plenty of ways you can get your way into booze. You can whip the top off a bottle of champagne with a sword, or even get into a bottle of wine with a drill. But if you want to do it properly, time and again, you need a waiter’s friend.
In a nutshell, this elaborate corkscrew by British designers at Oneofonehundred is kind of like a cross between orrerys, elaborate clocks, and a Rube Goldberg machine—all wrapped up with a steampunk vibe.
Here’s a great product to ensure that you’ll never be invited to somebody’s backyard ever again–the “Easy Install Twist Chair.” Instead of having four legs like regular chairs, the Twist uses a corkscrew base that you plug into the ground and spin until it’s solidly placed. Bring the chair along the next time you go to a garden party and see if your hosts appreciate you aerating their lawn. [Yanko Design]
