The designers of the Nordic Rock: Stone Ice Cubes have released another modern interpretation of an age old kitchen item. The new Heavy Metal Nutcracker has a tactile energy in its simple form. The nutcracker uses a large steel ball that is caged between two bent wires. You lift the ball to the top of the arch and let go, letting gravity shatter your nuts with a satisfying crack. A geometric juxtaposition of steel and wood, this nutcracker acts as both a practical tool and a modern sculpture. Perfect as a conversation piece on your coffee table, the Heavy Metal Nutcracker is £34.99 from Mocha.
