Skin Collection – Contemporary Elegance at the Heart of Wine Cellar Furniture Design
Conceived as a work of interior architecture, the Skin Collection blends design, technical precision, and modularity. Inspired by major European modernist movements and the legacy of the decorative arts, it offers a refined, graphic interpretation of wine cellar furniture.
Crafted by the expert hands of Architecture Intérieure du Vin, the Skin Collection presents a sophisticated alternative to the Essential range. Designed for discerning wine lovers, interior architects, and professionals alike, it brings together aesthetics, function, and optimal wine preservation in fully tailored configurations.
Architectural Design for Today’s Interiors
At Architecture Intérieure du Vin, every piece of furniture is envisioned as a daily scenography. Like the built-in furniture favored by Le Corbusier or Charlotte Perriand, the Skin Collection does not merely furnish a space—it structures it, dresses it, and elevates it.
Its perforated steel sheet frame—cut and embossed with artisanal precision—creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The contrast between textured matte black metal and surrounding materials (wood, stone, concrete) gives the collection a refined and graphic presence, never ostentatious.
An Expressive Material Language
The Skin Collection is based on a fully modular construction, compatible with all systems developed by the studio. It enables evolving compositions tailored to every spatial typology—from private wine rooms to retail or tasting spaces.
Each module (shelves, drawers, counters) speaks a coherent design language, where functionality and elegance meet. The perforated shelving creates a functional mesh that cradles each bottle precisely while showcasing its label. The furniture becomes inhabited structure, playing with density and openness, visual rhythm and clarity.
Skin Collection: Signature Modules & Style Inspirations
Classic Skin Shelf
Evoking the perforated trays of modernist workshops, the classic Skin shelf cradles bottles like individual showcases. The textured matte black metal adds a distinctive tactile and visual depth, enhancing verticality and presentation rhythm.
Slanded Skin Shelf
Inspired by museum display cases, this Slanded Skin Shelf ensures optimal label visibility while respecting wine preservation standards. A subtle balance of form and function.
Skin Drawer
Robust and fluid, the Skin drawer is designed for large wooden wine cases. It recalls the cabinetry of artisan workshops, featuring reinforced slides and a raw, assertive metallic finish—crafted to be both durable and elegant.
The Skin Counter: A Reinterpreted Tradition
A centrepiece of the collection, the Skin Counter reinvents iconic counters—from Roman tabernae to Parisian zinc bars—with a minimalist, refined twist. Solid wood meets black metal in a duo that is both warm and expressive—ideal for tasting rooms, receptions, or events.
Scenography & Customization: A Signature Aesthetic
The Skin Collection offers a bespoke approach to wine furniture. Each element integrates harmoniously within a global architectural vision, interacting with surrounding materials: polished concrete, natural stone, light wood, or steel-framed glass.
More than just furniture, the Skin Collection invites you to stage your wine, to create immersive atmospheres where object becomes experience—and interior design becomes art de vivre.
