Opale wine cellar is the new creation by the famous italian design studio Sand & Birch, conceived for Ellemme Cantine, after their first interesting collaboration for the renowned Winebag, that has yet become a little classic of design art in the field of wine refrigeration.
Now Sand & Birch is proud to present Opale, an extra-luxury refrigerated wine cellar, evocating a precious black stone wedged and gem-setted in a white, smooth base that enhances the equilibrium and purity of its design, creating a contrast that emphasize the elegant break between the elliptical shape of its vertical body and the roundness of its foothold. Opale by Sand & Birch, this masterpiece between the wine cellars is two meters high and can stores up more than 100 hundred bottles of wine.
Apart from being an unique design concept-work, Opale is also technologically very advanced: its door has an automatic opening, that can be activate by a remote control-zapper, or even by touch!
This artistic and highly-designed wine cellar is entirely projected and built in metal and hard polyurethane, while the door glass is exclusively made of insulating glass, that guarantees different levels of thermal and light insulation. Opale is able to self manage temperature controls and specific humidity of all red, white and sparkling wines, in order to guarantee all different preservations requirements.
On the inside, Opale's precious contents are lighted up by a Led lightning system. The smoked glass of its door allows to the passionate wine collector to catch a glimpse of the precious bottles which Opale keeps elegantly care of.
