About The Collector Cellar Fíona
Cellar fíona a tharraingíonn gach súl. Tá sé lámhdhéanta agus pleanáilte do leannán fíona fíor. An meascán de na frámaí cruach dóite le gloine inslithe go páirteach daite, a dhéanamh cuma cobhsaí ach ag an am céanna airy. Le rialú teochta speisialta, soláthraíonn an seomra siúil isteach seo go leor spáis chun fíon a fhuarú, a stóráil agus a bhailiú. Ar an taobh eile, tá doras maighdeog, lámhdhéanta freisin as cruach dóite. I cuais an dorais, faightear an ghloine daite arís.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- A wine cellar that draws all eyes. It is handmade and planned for a real wine lover.
The combination of the burnished steel frames with partially colored insulating glass, make it look stable but at the same time airy.
With special temperature control, this walk-in room provides enough space for cooling, storing and collecting wine.
On the opposite side, there is a pivot door, also handmade of burnished steel. In the recesses of the door, the colored glass is found again. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The collector has an approximate total size of 7 square meters.

- Production Technology
- The materials used for this project were DuPont Corian, burnished steel and insulating glass, some colored, some transparent.
- Design Challenge
- The plan was to have two wine refrigerators, which did not look very inviting. When the artist Zsolt Szalai heard about it, it motivated him to plan something special from instead, because collecting and drinking wine is a special form of art.
- Research
- For the burnished steel, the artist has developed a secret technology with which he treats the steel to achieve this special effect. This type of surface treatment and the production by hand make each piece unique.
- Inspiration
- The 3-floor house, in which the wine cellar and the pivot door are located, has been purposely reduced and conceptually planned. When the construction of the house was in full progress, the designer, Zsolt Szalai, had a vision about the collector.
- Project Duration
- The project duration was from May to June 2021, in Brunn am Gebirge, Austria.
- Operation Flow
- The artist planned to use subtle color accents in the form of colored glass to create more coziness. The semi-transparent colors can now be found in the glass front of the wine cellar as well as in the openings of the opposite pivot door.
