Tasting olives will now be easier, even fun, thanks to the all-Italian creation of a small design object that even etiquette will approve.
The idea comes from a reflection of the designer on the fact that there was nothing to eat them properly: often in restaurants they are not even served for their inconvenience. In Puglia they even cook and eat hot.
That’s why Pipoliva is perfect! A small design object whose intent is to propose a new way, a ritual, to eat olives without getting your hands dirty: with a breath the stone is eliminated and harvested. A perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics.
Pipoliva is formed by a curved and tubular part, a sort of handle, which allows the expulsion of the core, and by a final concavity that allows it to be collected. Without the need to even touch it with your fingers, just blow it inside the handle and you’re done. To create and create the design product, Silvia Cassetta, a talented architect and designer who, for the first time, found an elegant solution to olive tasting, so far not exactly in first place in etiquette.
The project also has a decidedly ecological aspect. The prototype, in fact, was made with the 3D printer in PLA, a vegetable plastic obtained from corn starch.
The experimentation with new materials has thus led the designer to design a real collection in which Pipoliva has also been made of colored Apulian ceramic. An example of how the tradition of local lands and olive trees never stray from the project.
Among the recent innovations, there is also the possibility of customizing each Pipoliva with engravings, logos or decorations, making it unique and special for each event.
