A bottle storage system by designer Alberto Villarreal called LITOS uses a modular design to create efficient wine holders. Using an arrow-like shape, the wine rack stacks to be as tall as you want. Alternating wood and concrete blocks create a beautiful visual effect that also serves the purpose of displaying your wine.
The LITOS block has a perfectly-sized hole to store your wine. The wine holders were shaped to have half of your bottle protrude so that part of the label can be seen. Completely customizable, the holders can also be taken apart to store plants if you only have one or two bottles to display.
Villarreal focused on giving the LITOS a feeling of stability when designed the rack. Each block is constructed from walnut hardwood or concrete.
