THE ICON

An icon of conviviality and ingenious mechanics. The 'De Gaulle' or 'butterfly' corkscrew transformed a sometimes-struggling task into a smooth, two-motion performance. This photograph focuses on its clever architecture: the poised wings, the central screw, and the sturdy base. Revell captures it as a poised object of potential energy, a minimalist sculpture ready for action. It's a tribute to the design patented in 1930 by Domonick Rosati that has presided over countless dinners and celebrations, a true hero of the kitchen drawer.
