| The Story of The Winescape Paul Allen Design was founded by Paul Allen to pursue an inspiration for a special wine rack and to create a platform to launch bigger ideas. A personal story is here. The Winescape represents getting bigger than the circumstances we all encounter in order to reach our goals. Winston Churchill said if you're going through hell, keep going. He also used to start each day with a bottle of Pol Roger champagne. Both excellent advice. In the beginning we donated more Winescapes to charity and auction fund raisers than we were selling. Since then we have been blessed with best customers including the "who's who" of Los Angeles, Hollywood, New York, and everywhere in between. Our "Transpirational" Guarantee The natural phenomenon of transpiration involves a process of rising up. At the sight of their Winescape, owners consistently report being inspired to rise up and transcend the daily grind and strive for what they want in their life. We stand apart from all of the workaday objects that blend into your life. The Winescape has a special presence and will inspire you when you least expect it. In the first few months of owning it, we guarantee that the sight of your Winescape will inspire you to either a greater goal, a new idea, a different solution, something outside the box, or to just dream bigger dreams for yourself. Your surroundings are important. They should motivate you and your home should rise up to greet you. Settle for nothing less. Patents Pending More than meets the eye. We use a simple combination of structural design, spatial geometry, modified ellipses, custom tooling, and American craftsmanship. They all must come together. The bottles must be held securely and the mounts must be rock solid. Despite these requirements we still hear about the time, materials(and even wine bottles) that many people have wasted before they became customers. Design The Winescape is distinguished by hand selected premium hardwoods, discrete mounting, wine label presentation, and a powerful eye-catching presence. Choosing hardwood for your interior design is a matter of taste. The stability of the mount and bottles is a question of safety. A bottle cannot fall out of a Winescape any more than a key can fall out of a lock. Once you insert a bottle in your rack it will stay there until it's removed. Specifications The Winescape is fit to hold most all standard wine bottles as shown. Instructions and special mounting screws are included. Racks holding up to 6 bottles must be mounted to at least 5/8" thick sheet rock(standard wall). For racks over 6 bottles, a 2x4 stud within the wall is required. The total width, with bottles installed, is 20 inches. Allow for 3 more inches on each side of the rack for room to take bottles in and out. You can also mount your rack near a corner and just use one side of it. The racks on this site are not for use in moving craft such as yachts or RV's. Another design is available for those applications. Wood and Finishes and Going Green Our wood is kept all natural throughout it's own eco-friendly "green" process. We use no chemicals or stains or dyes. Before shipping we apply a custom mix of wax and natural orange oil to each rack to start the journey. Your rack can ship bare if you prefer for your own stain matching. The wood can be maintained with any wood/furniture care product you prefer. No two pieces are alike. Each vary in grain, knots, eyes, checking and color tone which is part of their natural beauty. Finally, the ventilation system in our production shop is entirely solar powered. We will eventually run every machine this way. Shipping, Exchanges, Returns The shipping costs of the 3 main sizing options are $11, $19, amd $22. For returns please see our guarantee above. If your Winescape is purchased as a gift and the wood type is not to the recipients' taste then we can make an exchange. Please allow 7-10 days in our production cue. Special Orders Contact us about specific lengths, capacities, wood, rosettes, or angled bottles. Any feature not shown on the buying page is a custom feature. See our customer page for pictures including a custom 9' foot, 42 bottle capacity Winescape. We often solve problems like the one they had. Space was precious in their new condo and the Winescape was the solution. |
