FANG

FANG is a brass bottle opener inspired by the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The bottle opener is intended to look dangerous and macabre. Its shape is modeled after the anatomy of a human jawbone and a handgun. The “fang” inscription is a reference to Basquiat’s ability to commercialize and animalize human form.
