‘rough around the edges’, bo playfully gnaws your bottle open
Meet Bo, the bottle opener that doubles as a friendly drinking companion. Merging functionality with a touch of whimsy, designers Chris Luu and Max Amato have crafted Bo from brushed aluminum as a charming, pocket-sized nod to the endearing characters often encountered in bars. Armed with a beer belly and purposeful imperfections, the playfully designed character is intentionally ‘rough around the edges’ and ready to gnaw open any bottle with his teeth.

Bo’s dual role as a functional bottle opener and a convivial drinking buddy encapsulates Chris Luu’s commitment to infusing personality into everyday objects — extending their use beyond mere utensils into playful conversation starters. In the past, the designer has transformed familiar urban icons such as the orange street barrier and New York’s green-mesh trashcan into wearable art and a flower vase. The bottle opener is made to order and can be acquired online through Max Amato’s shop.
