Modular Wine Rack Nucleus

A Contemporary and Expandable Wine Storage Solution

Inspired by the need for a high-quality, sleek, and flexible wine rack, designer Thijs Goossink created the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus. With its unique design and infinite expandability, this wine rack offers a contemporary solution for wine enthusiasts with limited space.

The Modular Wine Rack Nucleus is a stunning piece of functional art. Made from flat elements of extruded aluminum, each element is identical in shape and features a brushed finish. The rack can be anodized in blank or color, allowing owners to personalize their storage solution. The colored elements add an interactive and playful touch, encouraging owners to create refreshing new sculptures with their wine collection.

What sets the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus apart is its modular design. The elements of the rack are assembled by sliding them together, making it incredibly easy to expand or reconfigure the rack as needed. The modular features at the edges of the elements allow for endless combination options, giving owners the freedom to create a wine storage solution that perfectly fits their space and collection.

Whether free-standing or wall-mounted, the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus is a versatile storage solution. Special adapters are available for wall-mounted versions, ensuring stability and ease of installation. Rubber strips are included to protect both the floor and the elements at the bottom of the rack.

The production process of the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus involves extruding aluminum profiles and lightly machine-brushing them. The profiles are then CNC-milled into pieces with a length of exactly 260 mm, ensuring smooth and straight end faces. After anodizing, the elements undergo a thorough quality control check before being packaged and shipped.

With a length of 260 mm for each element, the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus can accommodate bottles with a maximum diameter of 90 mm. The rack is available in various colors, including blank, blue, and orange. Sets are available in different sizes, with the standard set consisting of 16 elements for 6 bottles.

The Modular Wine Rack Nucleus has received recognition for its innovative design. In 2013, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Whether you're a wine connoisseur with a growing collection or someone looking for a stylish and space-saving storage solution, the Modular Wine Rack Nucleus is the perfect choice. Its sleek design, infinite expandability, and interactive features make it a standout piece in any home or wine cellar.
