Rationale

The Marcork is a masculine, upper class inspired corkscrew. The Markcork was inspired upon the form and design of the Ashton Martin Style car and inspired by the social connection of the last drop of wine or champagne coming out of the bottle hence it’s form from a birds eye view.

The Marcork does have the long stylish form of a car with it’s embellishments of its grooves. It sits well in the hand and it is ambidextrous. The negative space emphasizes its overall form and can be functionally utilized to be stored on a hook. But it can also be stored on the kitchen table, the bench or just as an ornament in you wine case. When people walk in the room it will automatically grab their attention and they will be like. “ wow what is that?!” Then socially you have your talking point. Though even though it’s design is based on something fast and big, it’s size and form will intrigue the user in it’s hand. It can be held in many different ways and it’s steel body has enough strength to withstand the force of such a brute action.

The satisfaction of folding it up and retreating back into it’s haven shows that it is not just a sculpture but an actual useable product. It has a chrome steel finish for the kitchen function and it has a brushed steel finish for the single man who brings over successful business partners home for a drink so when they enter the room they feel a comfortable as the Marcock sits in it’s haven.
