Mario Zeppetzauer, creator of the Purismen Letter Opener, was fascinated by the idea of placing a representation of pure dynamic power back on those desks from which power is projected every day.
Working with incredibly light, visually fascinating carbon material, he found his inspiration in the sleek lines and uncompromising dynamics of racing speedboats and the speed record jetplane Lockheed Blackbird.
Immediately after its first introduction, the Purisme Letter Opener has been awarded the prestigious international Red Dot Design Award and earned a similarly prestigious place as an exhibit at the 21st Biennial of Industrial Design 2008 chosen by an international jury from 421 entries.
The award-winning design uses the fascinating hi-tech material carbon to make a distinctive sculptural statement with instant emotional impact. The resulting tool is both visually fascinating and ergonomically convincing. Haptically it conveys the proverbial "touch of class" and inside it carries a unique feature: on a specially developed RFID-TAG it carries an electromagnetically coded personal message from the design artist. Thus, Purisme propels the age-old tradition of engraving personal items forward into the cyberspace era, giving an industrial product a soul, a history, and alot of additional emotional value.
The Purisme Letter Opener is a European product of uncompromising quality: Manufactured in a process that combines latest serial production technology with traditional craftsmanship, each single example undergoes meticulous controls during production and an additional final inspection by the designer who has to sign his approval before the item leaves the factory.
