Screwpull Activ-Ball


Redefining a classic.

A taste of good things to come.


“Redefine our classic corkscrew.” That was the task Screwpull set us. But how best could we help this upmarket brand innovate in a sophisticated way?


Opening a bottle of wine is an occasion. What if, instead of being hidden away in a drawer, the corkscrew could earn pride of place beside the wine? 


When we designed the Screwpull Metal Activ-Ball corkscrew, we aimed to make it an object of beauty in its own right. Something that worked smoothly and looked exquisite, meeting the expectations of a top class brand like Le Creuset. The ultimate interface for wine. 


The innovative self-pulling design and durable metal alloy construction has since become an award-winning industry icon, capturing the iF design prize when launched in 2006.
