A squirrel bending over to crack open a nut is an image that can be seen frequently throughout the historical production of nutcrackers; lending inspiration to this piece by Andrea Branzi. Andrea Branzi is a Florence-born architect, designer and critic for magazines such as Domus, Interni, Casabella and Modo. One of the founders of the Domus Academy, Branzi is a member of the EEC Commission for the promotion of the European design.
