ReRack’s handcrafted wine racks are constrcuted using various repurposed materials including floor joists, steel plates, rebar and copper tubing. The wooden joists were salvaged from a 160 year old building recently demolished on Staten Island. The contrasting color in the grain is preserved and highlighted by carefully light sanding the wood and applying only the finest natural finishes. Steel pl
ates that are used for the tops were rescued from the basement of an abandoned Brooklyn factory. Their unique waffle pattern predates modern diamond plate by almost 100 years. Found in a semi painted and rusted condition, they are cleaned with industrial wire brushes and polished to a rich, dark luster. Rebar is a stock item welded into a square or diamond pattern to accommodate the bottles. The copper is also a stock item cut and soldered into a square pattern and hand polished to rich semi-gloss finished. The copper is offered in a diamond pattern as well at a substantial premium. The standard sized racks shown in photographs hold two cases of wine. Any combination of materials can be custom fabricated into the size that best suits your space. The tops are available in wood or steel and the fronts can be copper, wood or rebar. Copper and rebar fronts can be made with square or diamond patterns.
