I purchased this item (bottle opener) in Greenville, SC at a gift shop downtown. It drew my attention because the aesthetics of the design are pleasing. The rounded modern feel of the silver and the palmetto tree design add personality to a normally mundane kitchen element.
While a bottle opener itself may be a considered a necessity, a designed silver may be regarded as a luxury. However, if using the item or simply having it in the kitchen brings joy and memories to the viewer, than I think it deserves our attention. This bottle opener falls not in the realm of art, but more so of industrial design. However, most industrial designers may tell you that is art.
