bottle opener


Destapa is a bottle opener designed to create a personal and social connection between the object and the user through experience. It speaks to a young, dynamic, and participatory world, aiming to become that familiar object always present when sharing a beer. Its use naturally sparks conversation among friends, and its name is inspired by the vibrant energy of the street culture it connects with.
Portable, accessible, and personal, Destapa adds meaning to shared moments. The material was chosen to allow the object to evolve over time, revealing the traces of every use. Each mark and sign of wear becomes a record of time spent with others. The design reflects the simple joy of opening a beer, celebrating the sound, the gesture, and the moment it creates. Its shape invites constant interaction, much like a toy—tactile, colorful, and made to be touched, held, and enjoyed without needing explanation.
Destapa is a collaborative project by Colectivo Caravana, a design collective that embraces co-creation through a horizontal practice, shifting the focus away from individual authorship and toward collective expression.
