Curved Straight follows the room rather than fighting it. The run is drawn to a radius in plan, so the racking wraps around a curved wall, a turning corner or a bay — but the rack face itself stays straight in elevation. Bottles sit on a single plane, the way they do in a traditional cellar. Only the wall moves.

That distinction is the whole system. A concave face dishes back, so bottles sit forward and back across the curve. Curved Straight doesn’t dish. Every cell is square to its neighbour and the setting-out reads as it would on a flat wall — it is the plan, not the section, that curves. The traditional face is held true the whole way around, which is the harder discipline and the reason the run reads as one piece rather than a series of segments.

It is at its best seen along its length. Straight on, you read a single bay. Move down the run and the radius opens up in front of you — the horizontal rails carry the eye around the sweep, the display rows following the curve, and the whole wall resolves as one continuous form. The bottles stay level throughout; it is the room that turns.
