Echelon Wine Racks
This is a unique solution to bottle storage. The elegant flow of this modular system is ideal for locations where appearance and presentation matter – restaurants and wine stores, clubs and bars, kitchens and home cellars.
The racks are made from extruded aluminium and coated with a natural satin anodising. It is a compact system with a capacity of over 90 bottles per square metre. For a detailed description go to How It Works
Cabinet makers and joiners find the system convenient because they can simply build a rectangular carcass – the racks are then assembled on site and slid into the recess.
At Echelon we strive to be practical. We believe that the simplest designs are often the best. Excellence in design is about finding the elegant solution – but it is also about manufacturing the product in an affordable and sustainable way. Cost efficiency is as important as form and function.
Rohan Macarthur-Onslow is the company principal. Rohan has been involved in product design since 1992 and prior to that he gained practical experience in the field of motor sport. Aside from customer projects, he has, through the development of proprietary products, gained skills and knowledge in areas as diverse as intellectual property, product marketing and distribution.
