Winetage

Lombardia, Italy | Designer

Winetage was born during an eno-tourist visit to an iconic wine cellar upon discovering that the barrels, essential for aging wine and made from the noblest and finest oak, are normally disposed of and burned after only 5-6 years. Inspired by Michelangelo's vision, Winetage reinterpreted wine-aged oak into modern furniture, revealing wine aging's alchemy. Each Winetage creation starts from respect and reevaluation of the material, the oak stave, in its 2 essential components: the curvature and the coloring imprinted by the wine during aging. Thus, the integration of elements such as marble, metals, and high-tech Green biological materials also plays a key role.
