Why Silo? When Chris Martin begins his design process, his goal is to create something that he himself would like to buy and that he cannot find on the market. With more and more wine bars opening in recent years and an increased interest in good wines, Chris wanted to create dignified storage that lives up to the same high quality as the bottles it will hold.

Based on a continuous loop, Chris Martin designed the wine rack in an unbroken line of wood, where the bottles rest firmly in milled-out compartments. Silo holds its bottles securely and in a horizontal position. The bottles have a 3.87 degree inclination to keep the wine in constant contact with the cork, something that stops the cork from drying out and spoiling the wine.

“Silo is a functional and logical wine rack. But something distracted me, it was almost too logical. It felt like you should be able to lift it up into place. It almost called for handles, even though it’s really an unnecessary feature. I quickly realized that we already had the handle shape in the grooves on which the bottles rested. After that, my job was done. The handles are a subtle detail that give an added a charm to the wine rack.”

The rack which has a typology taken from traditional wine cellars can store 4 bottles per unit and can be stacked up to four units high.
