| Form Follows Function No other wine rack out there had the features I wanted so I designed one myself. There were certain required functions. It had to: 1. take up no living space, 2. display all labels at all times, and 3. be made entirely of fine wood. All other racks either consume precious floor or counter space, are made of metal, plastic, or some other industrial material, or show only the end of the bottle, not the label. Most wine racks commit all of these offenses. Just a single bottle on a counter takes up more space than a fully loaded Winescape. The Winescape actually gives up space instead of taking up space and it does it with the finest hardwoods. And with the labels of all of your bottles visible at all times, its function goes from display to a unique style of consumable art. This is art that changes because you drink it. It is also a great way to show off your taste in wine. The Winescape is especially good at beautifying wall space behind a bar, in a kitchen, a hallway alcove, or under a staircase. It will fit most anywhere. This clean, unique form needed a very special mounting system. The result was hidden mounts with incredible security and stability. The bottle sitting on a counter or a conventional wine rack would be in far greater peril. This design ensures that the bottles do not come out accidentally. Due to the force of gravity and the design of the holes mated to the bottles, they are held very securely and must be removed intentionally. Ever hold a bottle by its neck? Of course you have. Every hole and ellipse and edge are designed to serve these needs to perfection. |
