The Knot Wine Rack has been designed by New York-based company Mint.

It consists of two intersecting moulded plywood pieces in birch and walnut, which combine to create a flower-like shape, which looks cool, but also provides a good way to store bottles. The construction allows you to store six regular size bottles, plus one larger bottle, such as a champagne bottle in the centre.

The Knot Wine Rack is available to buy from Cool and Collected via Not on the High Street, priced £85.

 

 John Lewis is currently selling a range of vintage-style storage trunks including this Union Jack Halo Trunk.

The trunks have been made using traditional techniques that match their old-fashioned appearance, taking on average 72 hours to make. The trunks are made from MDF, finished with antique burgundy leather detailing and handles, and 400 studs, each of which has been hand-applied. This one has been decorated with a faded union jack print, but there is also an antique rose print or flour sack designs to choose from.

The Union Jack trunk costs £449 whilst the other designs cost £399 from John Lewis.
