Designed in 2010 by Andrea Branzi, the Alessi ''Scoiattolo'' (squirrel) nutcracker. The design displays a squirrel enjoying a fine nut on a log. With the ''Scoiattolo'', Branzi demonstrates his attentiveness to the environment and natural forms. This nutcracker is just as good at cracking nuts as a squirrel itself. The combination of 18/10 polished stainless steel and wood makes it a cheerful item. The nutcracker has two slots: one is suitable for cracking walnuts, almonds, or other large nuts, the other for breaking the shells of hazelnuts and other small nuts. The nutcracker is in a new condition and never been used. Delivered with original packaging and manuals. Andrea Branzi: Born in Florence in 1938, architect and designer. At an early age he studied as an architect at the Florence School of Architecture. Later on he was one of the founders of Italy’s first postgraduate design school, the Domus Academy. Besides, Branzi is one of the members of the EEC Commission for the promotion of the European design. He produced products for the most famous brands like Cassina, Vitra and Zanotta. As widespread acknowledgement for his work he was two times awarded with the prestigious Italian industrial design award Compasso d'Oro. ‘’Keywords: Picasso, Tiffany & Co, Van Gogh, Yves Saint Laurent, Omega, Dali, Prada, Burberry, Matisse, Rolls-Royce, Michael Kors, Ralph Laurenc, Monet, McQueen, Mercedes-Benz, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade, Givenchy, David Hockney, Tom Ford, Versace, Furstenberg, BMW, Gauguin, Hilfiger, Calder, Giacometti, Balmain, Lichtenstein, Louis C.K., Wang, Piaget, Chagall, Valentino, Keeffe, Ferragamo, McCartney, Max Ernst, Miyake, Hugo Boss, Jasper Johns, Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, Richard Serra, Man Ray, Helmut Lang, Chloé, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Adidas, Alessi, André Saraiva, Armani, Alvar Aalto, Alexander Girard, Aldo Bakker, Apple, Aldo Rossi, Artimide, Anish Kapoor, Artek, Ai Weiwei, Angelo Mangiorotti, Audemars Piquet, Achille Castiglioni, Arne Jacobsen, Agne Jacobsen, Ben Eine, B&B Italia, Basquiat, Blek Le Rat, Bertjan Pot, Brusk, Boud Ceysens, Banksy, Bearbrick, Bentley, Bang Olufsen, Balenciaga, Bitossi, Borek Sipek, Bauhaus, Baccarat, Braun, Breitling, Cappellini C215, Cartier, Charlotte Perriand, Chanel, Christien Meindertsma, Chopard, Ceramic, Case Studyo, Cavalli, Christo, Danese Milano, Damien Hirst, Dface, Dior, De Pas, Dollar, D'Urbino, Daniel Arsham, Driade, Diamond, Disney, Dran , Dieter Rams, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Enzo Mari, Euro, Eero Earnio, Ekstrom, Ed Rusha, Eames, Faile, Ferm, Ferrari, Futura, Foscarini, Fin Dac, Friso Kramer, Flos, Fake, Frank Gehry, Gold, Gucci, Gammelgaard, Gio Ponti, Gispen, Gabbianelli, George Nelson, Hayden Kays, Harry Bertoia, Hans-agne Jakobsson, Hermes, Herman Miller, HAY, Hot Wheels, Hockney, Hella Jongerius, Ikea, Ittala, Isamu Noguchi, Imbue, Irma Boom, Invader, James Bond, Jeff Aerosol, Jean Prouve, JR, Jason Freeny, Jordan, Jørgensen, JonOne, Jeff Koons, Kembo, Kai Kristiansen, Knoll, Klibansky, Kartell, Keith Haring, Konstantin Grcic, Lego , Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Leica, Liechtenstein, Louis Poulsen, Le Corbusier, Lagasse, Louis Vuitton, Lomazzi, Ligne Blanche, Martin Watson, Mr Brainwash, KAWS, Mondriaan, Yayoi Kusama, Minotti, Marc Newson, Memphis Milano, Magis, Martiri, Magis, Maarten Van Severen, Maarten Baas, Vitra, Michele De Lucchi, Mtn, Medicom, Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Maurizio Cattelan, Makkink & Bey, Mr Doodle, Miss Tic, Matteo Thun, Modern, Munday, Marcantoni, Maurizio Cattelan, Montblanc, Moooi, Marcel Wanders, Michele De Lucchi, Natuzzi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Nike, Nintendo, Obey Giant, Off White, Ottmar Hörl, Yoshitomo Nara, Orlinski, Parra, Paul Insect, Porsche, Pejac, Perrotin, Pentax, Pierre Giraudon, Pierre Jeanneret, Popart, Pokemon, Poul Henningsen, Pantone , Philippe Starck, PichiAvo, Pez, Patek Phillipe, Rem Koolhaas, Rietveld, Rolex, Raak, Roche Bobois, Richard Hutten, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Sabine Marcelis, Sandra Chevrier, Shepard Fairey, Supreme, Snik, Space Age, Stik, Seen , Seletti, Seth, Stilnovo, Snarkitecture, Studio Job, Steve Lazarides, Spectrum, Scholten & Baijings, Swarovski, Thonet, Tichelaar, Tintin, Tracey Emin, Verner Panton, USM Haller, Virgil Abloh, Vhils, Vico Magistretti, Webe, Ecstasy, Joe Colombo’’
