Two systems found nowhere else in the industry
Years of refinement produced not one signature, but two — a patent-pending way to suspend bottles in air, and a way to curve an entire room's racking without touching its walls. Here's the full story behind both.
Bottles that appear to float
Our first and most distinctive innovation: a racking system that suspends each bottle on slender glass rods, removing the bulky shelving altogether. It's not a finish or a style choice — it's a patent-pending mechanical design, years in development, that simply doesn't exist anywhere else in the industry.
U.S. Design
Lightness as a design principle
The result is a collection that reads as weightless — every label visible, every bottle seemingly held by air. There's no bulky shelving to interrupt the room, no joinery competing for attention. The rods do their job and disappear.
Every rod is solid glass, not acrylic — the material was never negotiable. Glass catches and bends light in a way acrylic simply can't, throwing small refractions across the room that shift as you move through it. That response to light is the whole point: it's what turns a rack into something closer to a chandelier.
- Bottles appear suspended, free of bulky shelving
- Every label faces forward, fully visible
- Engineered first for protection, then for beauty
- Patent-pending mechanical design, not a surface finish
System Specifications
We believe a wine cellar should be more than a storage space — it should be a work of art. The glass rod system grew out of that belief, refined over years until it could hold real weight, in real climates, without ever looking like it was working hard to do so.
It doesn't feel like a cellar. It feels like the bottles are floating in the room with you.— Homeowner, Denver, CO
Every rod is set by hand, sized to the bottle format it carries, and positioned so the label always faces forward. The system showcases each bottle individually while bringing a lightness and contemporary elegance no traditional rack can match.

Most companies place straight shelving against whatever walls the architecture gives them. We take the opposite approach: the room itself stays a standard, straight-walled space — often just a simple rectangle — and we design the racking's curve to fill its volume instead, with the walls painted black so they disappear behind it. Every bay, decanter shelf, and diamond bin is drafted to a precise radius before a single piece is cut.
A curve built from the inside out
The walls stay exactly where the architecture put them — flat, straight, and painted black so they disappear from view. What you actually see is the racking: a curve drawn through the room's open volume, rising in tiers so sightlines stay open from any seat and nothing interrupts the eye. The bigger the room, the more ambitious that curve can be.
- Wood lattice racking curved to the room's exact radius
- Tiered display ledges, decanter shelves, and diamond bins built into the curve
- Every bay drafted to a precise radius before a single piece is cut
- Designed around the room's volume, not just its walls
System Specifications
Every curved room starts on the drafting table. We measure the room's actual dimensions — walls, ceiling height, doorways — and plot a racking radius that makes the best use of that volume, then work out bay counts, shelf heights, and bottle capacity before a single piece of lattice is bent.
The curve makes the room feel bigger than it is — there's nowhere for the eye to stop.— Collector, Aspen, CO
The payoff is a room that feels sculpted rather than built — tiers of bottles rising around you, decanter shelves set into the curve, and a sense of continuity that straight, wall-hugging racking simply can't offer.
