Alessi Twergi Nutcracker

The Twergi uses a clever rubber-hinged leverage system hidden within its cylindrical body. You simply place the nut inside, and the leverage mechanism applies the necessary pressure to crack the shell without requiring significant force.

It is designed to be both. While it functions perfectly as a practical kitchen tool for cracking nuts, its sculptural, minimalist aesthetic makes it a beautiful piece to display on a countertop or shelf when not in use.

This piece is crafted from high-quality applewood. To maintain the finish and integrity of the wood, avoid soaking it in water; simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately after use.

This specific item is in pristine, unused condition and arrives in its original packaging. It has been preserved as a collector's piece, so it functions as if it were brand new.

The internal mechanism is designed to accommodate standard nut sizes like walnuts and hazelnuts. Because of its cylindrical design, it works best with nuts that fit comfortably within the internal chamber.
