WineHive: a modular wine cellar made of 100% recycled aluminum

If you are a wine lover but has little room for storing in your home WineHive can be a solution. It is a modular wine cellar in the shape of a bee hive, made from 100% recycled aluminum.

The product idea came from American industrial designer John Paulick, after seeing a documentary on how the bees built their hives using minimal amounts of material with greater precision. So, Paulick decided to create a beehive-shaped structure, but larger, as a tribute to small engineers.

At the time, the designer was working with extruded aluminum shower door and saw an opportunity here to apply this recycled aluminum, usually applied in bathrooms and kitchens, in other domains. Once the wine and the cooking have an intrinsic relationship, the designer thought it a good option would be to create a wine cellar in extruded aluminum to occupy little space.

Since this is a modular wine cellar you can add and remove parts when necessary, referred to Inhabitat.
