CELLAR SYSTEMS

Shoji Custom.

Layered kumiko and backlit washi paper. A signature system, unique worldwide.

Shoji Custom Wine Cellar Racking.

Shoji is unlike anything else we build. Designed by Robert Rolls, and unique to Cellar Creations.

Fine kumiko slats in natural Tasmanian oak are layered over one another, with Japanese washi paper and a backlit plenum void behind. The result is a wall that glows softly and reads in silhouette — an effect that has to be seen in the room to be understood.

It is at its best when it isn’t overfilled. Shoji is a system that wants to be seen, and the wine sits within it rather than covering it. The soft, warm light through the washi gives the room an ambience that few materials can — a beautiful nightlight in any interior, residential or commercial.

It works as a standalone feature cellar, or as cutaway feature sections set into traditional joinery. It is the system architects and interior designers ask for by name — and, as far as we know, it exists nowhere else.

Washi over backlighting is unforgiving — the framework has to be exact or the light gives it away. This is the system that takes the most hours, and shows it.

  • Material — Natural Tasmanian oak kumiko, layered; Japanese washi paper; backlit plenum void.
  • Kumiko slats — 7mm × 19mm.
  • Finish — Natural.
  • Configurations — Feature walls, room dividers, backlit display bays.
  • Applications — Feature wine walls and feature cellars; cutaway feature sections within traditional joinery.
  • Lighting — Backlit LED, fully customisable. The defining feature of the system.
  • Bottle formats — Fully customisable. Typically set out at 100mm centres to take most standard bottles.
  • Orientation — Front-facing, cork-end out, bottles laid flat.
  • Depth — Approximately 600mm, including the rear light plenum. The additional depth houses the plenum and does not carry bottles.
  • Capacity — Approximately 100 bottles per square metre of rack face. Display-led; Shoji is designed to be seen, not filled.

Move past it and the layers shift against one another.

Important notice

Cellar Creations designs and builds bespoke wine cellars and racking. We do not sell wine, spirits, beer or any other alcohol, and we do not hold a liquor licence.

A third party website is currently publishing a listing under our business name, address and telephone number describing us as a retailer of wine and spirits, with trading hours and a photograph that are not ours, alongside alcohol offered for sale. That listing was not authorised by us and the information in it is false.

We are also receiving a high volume of enquiries that are not genuine, including requests for video consultations to work through design options and costings where there is no project behind them. It is taking us longer than usual to separate a real enquiry from a false one. If your enquiry has been met with more caution than you expected, that is why, and we are sorry for it. We ask genuine clients to bear with us.

If you have arrived here expecting to buy wine, you have been misdirected. We design and build generational pieces that celebrate wood and woodworking, one at a time, for the people who commission them and the people who behold them. You can see that work in our project galleries and on our YouTube channel, RR Creative Studio.
