I could see if you wanted to make it out of cardboard how environmentally friendly it would be, but how functional? Don’t get me wrong I know there is other things that could be used to make it green, but honestly, if you decide to use carbon strength anything isn’t it obvious you don’t want it to break down or weaken ever? Beautiful opener, I bet it works amazingly.

Recycling matters in every object created..!
i dont think this design goes far enough. as the user/purchaser is mega wealthy why not use ivory or mahogony with conflict diamonds on it? can design ever go too far?

I have seen it in person on BIO21. and it wasn’t awarded on BIO. It shows that design is not only rational, emotions and art are important as well, but I do not consider it a masterpiece.
It can win someones heart, not an award…

PS: Recycling doesn’t matter in luxury objects they are rarely thrown away…

I mostly use email for my communication.
Also, composite materials are generally considered environmental unfriendly as the mix of materials is impossible to pick apart in recycling. So its not really a material for the future unless/until someone clever figures out a way to dispose of it properly.

[...] Let’s talk mail. No, not email, nothing so throwaway. I’m talking letters – proper letters, delivered to your postbox and preferably handwritten with a proper ink pen. Letters like that deserve some ceremony in their opening, and thankfully here’s just the letter opener for the task. Purisme’s carbon-fiber letter opener, designed by Mario Zeppetzauer, is a luxury slice of award-winning (and expensive) envelope-slicer, and the guys at Yanko Design have been playing with it. [...]
