etceteramedia4.gif

This fun and efficient wine rack is made from 100% wool felt and manufactured locally in Massachusetts. The felt is reclaimed from post-industrial scrap and consists of about 85% factory excess wool and 15% mixed fibers. Etcetera Media, the design firm that created the wine rack, is based in Boston and was founded in early 2005 by Chris Grimley and Kelly Smith. It holds up to six normal wine bottles and collapses flat to be shipped and stored easily. It’s available for $40 through their website or if you’re on the west coast, through Branch Home based in San Francisco. Comes with the option of orange or green stitching.
