Why this marble wine cooler is special
Marble wine chillers are super trendy right now and can be find in a multitude of stores, but this one is different. First of all it is not just a machine shaped cylinder but an expertly hand crafted object with a sinuous design, pleasant to the eye and to the touch. Besides, this wine cooler is Made in Carrara, with real Carrara marble (not everything in the stores out there is), by an Italian design studio with a frequented showroom bar in the main square of Carrara. When you buy a piece of design from this studio you are buying a piece of Tuscany, a piece of Carrara.
