Description from the seller

Iconically designed nutcracker by Pierre Vandel for Pierre Cardin – solid aluminum, modernist lines, a cult object of French design.

The cube form integrates a central screw mechanism that enables a gradual, precise, and efficient grip on the nut. The round opening accommodates different calibers, while the satin finish of the aluminum emphasizes the quality of craftsmanship and the timeless elegance of the design.
Both a functional object and a decorative piece, this nutcracker perfectly illustrates the avant-garde and architectural spirit that Pierre Cardin holds dear, as well as Pierre Vandel's strict signature.

A piece sought after by lovers of designer design and iconic creations.
