Curvalinear forms visually expand the small space, and create a simple browsing experience. ©Paul Warchol
Presenting bottles
Each bottle is presented at a slight angle, as though in the hands of a sommelier gracefully showing the label. The bottle seating positions are gradiated to gradually rise and fall, pronouncing the curvalinear forms. ©Kevin Kunstadt
Rich materials
The materials are simple, durable, and rich. Leather wrapped shelves provides warmth and classic elegance at the point of human touch. Corian countertops provide a seamless permanence. Veneer plaster provides a smooth luster. ©Paul

Lighting
Each bottle is directly lit, with a concealed LED light strip that minimizes visual noise and glare. For each bottle presented, there is space to store the other 11 bottles from the case below. ©Paul Warchol
