Industrial wine rack with a stemware holder

An industrial wine rack on a black metal frame: three shelves in a dark wood tone and a stemware holder under the top frame. The task was to keep bottles, glasses and tableware in one place right next to a tall table without taking up much floor space. So the rack is narrow, the shelves have a lip and the glasses hang above them; the same project also included a tall stock rack on the same kind of frame.

Frame and inset shelves

The frame is four uprights of black square profile with side rails. Each shelf sits flush inside a metal surround that forms a low lip, so the shelf edge is protected from chipping and bottles and jars cannot slide off. Adjustable feet at the bottom let you level the rack. Our guide to industrial style covers how dark metal and wood work together.

The glass holder

Rails of metal rod are fixed under the top frame: stemmed glasses hang upside down by the foot, so they dry and take up no shelf space. At a larger scale, see the loft-style shop fittings; the window bar counter is built on the same kind of frame.

A large rack on the same kind of frame

The second rack in this project is tall, in two sections, with six tiers of shelves in the same metal surrounds. Horizontal side rails between the tiers stop boxes and bottles falling out sideways. A rack like this works for back stock or a storeroom.

A wine shelf with glass holder suits a shop, bar, cafe or an open-plan kitchen at home. We match the number of shelves, the width and the metal colour to the space. See custom shop fittings.
