Arlington, VA
Overview:
Designed in-house, these racks were built to fit within the end spaces of
the homeowner’s kitchen cabinetry. The racks extend from floor to ceiling and
will hold 26 bottles of wine apiece. They are designed to be fitted with slate
panels to make shelves and countertop. Each unit was constructed in a way that
allows them to break down into two components without the need for any tools,
and the top rack section can be used as a stand-alone fixture. The finish is
patinated brown/black, with burnished highlights, and covered with proprietary
beeswax/linseed oil mixture. Two
such racks were commissioned and built.
