Very Good & Proper

Say hello to the newest addition in our cellar collection…

We designed a wine cooler from recycled cork, which keeps your wine bottles chilled, even at the height of summer. This stylish design was made to fit a variety of bottle sizes, from half to magnum.

Sustainability is at the core of this design. This wine cooler offers a timeless design, made by manufacturers Very Good & Proper, from waste material, that’s 100% biodegradable after a lifetime of use.

The wine rack is available from Very Good and Proper’s online shop.

The cork oak tree grows thick, insulating bark that keeps the tree safe in periodic wildfires. This tree grows near warm, wine-growing regions and is traditionally used as airtight bottle stoppers.

When thinking of smart, sustainable ways to grow our cellar collection, we re-imagined ways to use this natural insulator, bringing it from the inside of the bottle to the outside.

 
 

Much like the wine rack from our cellar collection, it has been designed to fit a selection of different bottle sizes.  From enjoying a bottle of your favorite champagne in a restaurant to having a chilled bottle of rosé at home, it will chill any bottle size up to magnum.  

 

The softness of the wine cooler eliminates any scraping and clanking. The softer material helps create a convivial environment which in turn encourages better conversation.

 
 

The design is simple and stylish, which is a great alternative to conventional stainless-steel versions, keeping wine bottles cool in the summer sun.

 
 

New designs that learn from the past sustain elements of culture and knowledge: Here are three other projects that also do this.
