The interplay of contrasting colours and volumes culminates in the nutcracker by Ettore Sottsass. A project where the juxtaposition of different geometric shapes and colours tells a timeless story of lightness and profound elegance. Ideal for all kinds of nuts with different sizes by putting them either within the cylindrical or cubical volume--discover the incredible functionality of an expressive design and its highly functional details.
