Description
Final Sale
This is considered to be the most professional type of shaker: Legend has it that it was created towards the end of the 19th century by an unknown barman on board a transatlantic liner sailing between Boston and Europe. It consists of two parts which fit one into the other: a large metal tumbler - in our case, in 18/10 stainless steel rendered flexible by a special strain-hardening operation, and a tumbler in very thick glass. The tumbler (preferably the one in steel) can also be used as a mixing glass (for cocktails with dry liqueurs, while the shaker is used for dense liqueurs), together with the whisk for bars.This project comes from an in-depth investigation into professional tools for bars and for wines carried out in the second half of the Seventies with Alberto Gozzi of the Scuola Alberghiera, the training school for the hotel trade, in Stresa. He has since worked together with us on many projects mainly for the hotel trade.

Designer
Ettore Sottsass
1917-2007
Ettore Sottsass was a grandee of late 20th century Italian design. Best known as the founder of the early 1980s Memphis collective, he also designed iconic electronic products for Olivetti, as well as beautiful glass and ceramics. Revered in Italy as a doyen of late 20th century design, Ettore Sottsass is also cited as a role model by young foreign designers, such as Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, for the breadth - as well as the quality - of his work.
