Vintry Fine Wines
Vintry Fine Wines is a 2,200 square foot wine store, with a tasting table and storage rooms, located in the base of the Goldman Sachs tower at 200 West St, in the Battery Park neighborhood of Lower Manhattan.
Curvilinear forms helped create a simple browsing experience, while fulfilling the project goal of visually expanding the small store footprint. ©Paul Warchol
Each bottle is presented at a slight angle, as though in the hands of a sommelier gracefully showing the label. The bottle seating positions are gradiated to gradually rise and fall, pronouncing the curvalinear forms. ©Kevin Kunstadt
The materials are simple, durable, and rich. Leather wrapped shelves provides warmth and classic elegance at the point of human touch. Corian countertops provide a seamless permanence. Veneer plaster provides a smooth luster. ©Paul Warchol
Lighting
Each bottle is directly lit with a concealed LED light strip, which minimizes visual noise and glare. For each bottle presented, there is space to store the other 11 bottles from the case below. ©Paul Warchol
