The Designer
Jon Carron has worked for many years in the area of precision engineering, solving many technical design issues, and working with many materials in the process.
When challenged to design a new wine storage system that would be less cumbersome and take up less valuable space, the concept of the Wine Spine was born.
The initial concept came from a desire to display wine as a feature, or even a work of art. The result is a sleek, wall mounted single unit. Using clear-cut acrylic side panels and polished stainless steel fittings for a modern feel, while the mirror finished acrylic captures and reflects the surrounding light. This gives the effect that the wine bottles are floating in mid air.
Drawing on Jon’s previous experience working with acrylic and knowing the light transporting properties of the material, an LED illuminated version was then created to give a truly amazing effect.
The prototype Wine Spine was popular with all that saw it, and as demand grew the concept was soon developed and became a successful product.
