Based in Cologne, Germany, Skypak is young design studio specializing in recycled home decor. For their latest work, La Barrique Collection, the team made wine and whiskey bars from German airplane trolleys and barrels from beloved châteaux and distilleries from across the globe. Handcrafted from wood and steel, the bars retain the industrial flair of the trolleys and the textured look and scent of the wood, upcycling both materials into one rustic design. That the materials are reclaimed makes the bars sustainable and rich in history. Natural conversation-starters, the bars bring the warmth of wine- and whiskey-making into the home, all while delivering eco-friendly style and utility. Inside the trolleys, there are sliding drawers and adjustable shelves for storing several bottles, recipe books, glasses, and cocktail supplies in one elegant and easy-to-access place. Pre-made La BARRIQUE Wine, La BARRIQUE Whiskey, and La BARRIQUE Jack Daniel’s models are available to international buyers, and European customers have the additional choice of a refrigerated La BARRIQUE Cooler. The options don’t end there, however. Inquire directly to learn more and request a custom trolley today.
