Key Nut Opener
From Lemongras, the design firm of Carmen Cheong and Moritz Engelbrecht (below).

"No less is needed to crack a walnut. Here, a well-known principle has found its modern form."
Made of stainless steel, the divine object measures 4.5 x 4 cm.
I always knew that someday Archimedes Principle would burst out of the tub space but I had no idea it would happen this soon.
Wait a minute — that's not right....
But I digress.
The world is an interesting and strange place.
I mean, here you have a woman born in Singapore and a man born in Berlin both of whom decide to attend the Royal College of Art in London at the same time so they can meet and move to Munich to start Lemongras.

€4.8 ($5.80; £3.3)
Walnuts not included.
