Article source: Alessandro Isola The award winning Le Monde winery nestles between the sea and the hills of Friuli in Western Italy, an area steeped in traditional wine culture. The focus of the wine tasting room project was to create a space devoted to sensory experience and that ensured a constant visual connection with the beautiful surrounding vineyard, via the existing gallery windows.

The Corten zig-zags along the horizontal plane of the table, holding both sides together and forming an elevated end platform for use as a table when standing. The Corten also acts as an almost invisible support, creating the surprising illusion of huge ‘floating’ tables.

The main counter sits in front of the wall display and functions as both kitchen and feature bottle display. The entire counter is solid stone with a Corten fascia that’s shaved at one front edge to present a laser cut map of the vineyard.

The installation is reminiscent of pouring wine, to create a connection between the staircase and the counter. Gently encouraging visitors through the space. The light is a contrasting non-linear visual within the room, whilst emphasising the linear elements of the overall design throughout the concept. The overall result is a room that’s at one with its surroundings and offers visitors a beautifully considered environment from which they can sample the award winning produce of this fine Italian winery.
