While studying abroad in the Czech Republic, our studio class had the opportunity to design a wine rack for a well known distributor in the area. I wanted to focus on creating a piece that gave the illusion of floating wine bottles in space. Drawing inspiration from Oki Sato’s Thin Black Lines chair, Level uses welded steel wire to create spatial volume that gives the illusion of floating bottles. From certain angles, the wine rack appears to be a set of diagonal lines occupying space.
