Raoul Gross is one of the two winners of the call for projects launched in the framework of Esch2022 – European Capital of Culture and intended to give a second life to the century-old parquet floor of the Esch-sur-Alzette assembly hall.
Imagining the many scenes that must have taken place on these boards over the years, the designer chose to create a bottle opener, symbolising all the stories that we tell ourselves when opening a bottle. The bottle opener comes in the form of a metal rectangle decorated with parquet “slices” and is delivered in its storage box, which is nothing more than a piece of raw board. A beautiful and unique piece, entirely handmade, intended to evoke memories and invite stories.
