WINECHILLERS FOR WALLPAPER*
When commissioned by Wallpaper*
Magazine for its annual Handmade
Exhibit, design polymath Joe Doucet
wanted to create more than an object, he
sought to create a ritual. The result is a
series of wine chillers, exquisitely crafted
by Neal Feay Studio in Santa Barbra,
California. A chilled bottle of wine
is placed inside the containers, which
prevent the cold from being lost by
convection, conduction and radiation.
The textures engraved in varying depths
which wrap around the chillers are
inspired by the wind patterns of cold
fronts as they move around the globe.
