Alessi Noe Modular Wine Rack Bottle Holder. We love this beautiful Noe modular bottle-holder/wine rack by Giulio Iacchetti for Alessi Italy. Giulio Iacchetti's "Noe" presents a stylish way to store your bottles on the kitchen counter. Perfect for any wine lover from the amateur to the connoisseur, the Alessi Noe Wine Rack stores bottles horizontally keeping the cork moist so wines last longer. The special modular structure made of polyamide, which resembles an upside down bunch of grapes, is ideal for the convenient storage of your bottles. The modular aspect of the design means this bottle holder can expand vertically and horizontally to accommodate your growing wine collection.
Giulio Iacchetti has been working in the field of industrial design since 1992. He combines this work with lecturing and teaching duties in a number of universities and design schools. He has received many awards amongst which (with Matteo Ragni) the “Compasso d’Oro” (Golden Compass) in 2001 for the "Moscardino" multipurpose biodegradable fork, which today is part of the permanent exhibition of design at the MoMA in New York. In 2009 he received the "Premio dei Premi" (Prize of Prizes) from the President of the Italian Republic for the innovative "Design alla Coop" project, which sought to apply design related themes to large chain stores. In May 2009 he opened the series of exhibitions dedicated to young designers at the Triennale design museum in Milan, with a personal display titled "Giulio Iacchetti. Oggetti disobbedienti".
