Bokk bottle opener

Nedre Foss' Bokk is a cast bronze bottle opener that has been hand-carved by designer Sigve Knutson. The mysterious character of Bokk has influences from old Scandinavian design traditions – a mixture of copper and tin, bronze was the first metal alloy to be used in tools and ornamental items already 5000 years ago. Bokk is Norwegian for a type of dark, strong lager beer, and the sculptural bottle opener makes an excellent gift for a beer enthusiast. Its rounded shape fits the hand easily, and its bold aesthetics add a decorative touch to a bar counter or sofa table.

Nedre Foss Gård is a Norwegian restaurant and a brewery, located in Oslo by the river Akerselva. Businessman and restaurateur Nevzat Arikan established the restaurant in an old farm complex that features a main building from 1802. The interior was designed by Anderssen & Voll, who also moved to the premises, and the restaurant opened its doors in 2015. The Ildhane cast iron candleholder was created during the project and became the first product of Nedre Foss. The brand's aim is to produce "Century Objects" – products that will serve at least for 100 years.
