The “Material Edition” provides an unexpected haptical experience.

The velvet like outer surface of the porcelain and plastic version is comforting for hands an lips. These come in the three  colors: mint, lilac and light blue.

A new bottle opener which is also part of the Vöslauer Gastro Collection and made to open a huge amount of bottles effortlessly.
The opener is made from one soft metal loop that lies comfortable in the waiter’s hand.
Also part of the collection is the elegant bottle cooler.
Its material porcelain helps to keep the temperature of the water low and integrates well with other porcelain tableware.
Its soft shape refers to the Vöslauer drinking glass.
In addition the exclusive second bottle opener is an elegant turn on the Vöslauer logo.
The letter V is transformed into an attractive object and a new type of bottle opener at the same time.
According to the logo, the serifs of the font turn the letter into a practical tool.
