Good design is thorough, down to the last detail — Dieter Rams
Peter Horjus, is an award-winning art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and fine artist. He continues in his creative endeavors by presenting to you, “The Royal Cork”, a line of visually appealing handcrafted bottle stoppers that fit and seal most any glass bottle. Evoking a golden age of luxury and class, these artful bottle stoppers are exceptional examples of form respectfully complimenting function.
Peter searches the world over for architectural elements whose original use has long been discarded — though the historical allure and story remains — he transforms these treasures into well-made artful bottle stoppers.
Peter’s workshop is a craftsman's delight. A place of art, design, skill, and experimentation. The central feature is a large wooden vintage drafting table, marked and worn, where palm-sized ornate objects from the past lie in wait to be transformed into their new appointed destiny, to exquisitely top a swanky bottle of wine, whiskey, perfume, olive oil...
Each is unique, handcrafted with texture, beautiful patina, thoughtful design and elements of surprise. Experience for yourself the art of topping a favorite bottle well, with a beautifully created bottle stopper from The Royal Cork.
