Alessi Nut Splitter by Jim Hannon Tan, The nut splitter was developed by Jim Hannon Tan during the ‘ethics and design’ workshop held in july 2007

  • This delicate little tool is made from precision-cast steel and is inspired by an ancient gesture performed by farmers and foresters: opening a nut with both hands with the aid of a small hole punch.
  • The inspiration for the shape came from winged form of the maple seed, a symbol of freedom & fusion.
