The Drinks Cabinet
Glazed doors, lit shelves and an oak wine rack, built into the wall of a sitting room.
It is a drinks cabinet rather than a bar, which means it has to look like furniture when it is shut. The upper doors are glazed and lit from inside, so the glassware is the thing on display and the bottles sit below it, out of the light.
The wine rack is solid oak, cut as a cross so the bottles lie in four triangles rather than a grid of round holes. It is the one part of the cabinet left unpainted, and it is deliberately the warmest thing in it.
The glasses hang from a rail rather than standing on a shelf. It keeps them off the timber, and it means the light from above passes through them instead of stopping at the first row.
It has to look like furniture when it is shut.
