Japanese Shoji Wine Racking

Robert Rolls’s love of Japanese design and fine woodworking led to a cross-pollination of the wine rack and the Japanese rice-paper screen. Drawing on kumiko joinery learned in Japan, the slatted timber is half-checked on alternate sides so it can be woven, giving equal pressure both ways and keeping the lattice true. Backlit, it throws a subtle warmth through the rice paper and the bottles. One of five systems original to Cellar Creations.
