Rob Higgs’ crazy Corkscrew contraption

Craft & Design

The Corkscrew is an ingenious mechanical sculpture comprising almost 300 found objects which have been cast in bronze and assembled to create a priceless object trouves. The Corkscrew is not only an amazing sculpture, which dramatically emerges from its fabulous cabinet, but is quite simply a work of pure, mechanical genius which removes the cork from a bottle of wine and then pours the wine under its own power.
