These ice tongs are another iconic design by Ricard. They work great and they can't be simpler...
I'm not sure I'll know how to explain the way they work... so I've made the simplest drawing so you can see how it works! (plus, it's past midnight... my mind is not in conditions for a second language task LOL)
I know some of you are thinking "did this Mr Ricard designed anyting related to drinking and smoking?" O yes, he did, in fact I have run out of items from his alcohol and tobacco section...
