For the project one: bioinspired assignment, I decided to design a storage system for wine. This is a contemporary wine shelf inspired by the concept of DNA in two different ways, boxing sophisticated, organic and stylish in the form of double helix structure. Named ‘THE DNA’ . It is a place of storage / shelves simple typology but with a twist that defines an important part of your personal identity
In nature DNA is a nucleci acid containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. In living organisms DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a pair of molecules that are held tightly together. These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix.
This Unique wine shelf with twisting design is an intriguing piece of home decor that could perfectly fits some modern home. Its contemporary look is based on the unique double helix design of our own DNA strands. The concept is that every wine you place on the shelves defines a significant part of your personal identity. I tried to use this DNA concept to designed this wine shelf and also let you know a idea that each DNA has unique different from others, just like every bottle of wine, is unique special. You can also according to your own like to choose the color of DNA wine shelf, and very suitable for high quality life.
The material that this wine shelf going to use is wood and metal. Wood is the most popular medium when it comes to wine shelf construction. It is easily obtainable and very workable. Many types of wood can be used, such as mahogany, pine. Metal is another popular choice for wine shelf. Although it is not as easy to work with as wood, metal pieces tend to be more unique. With metal, more fluid and flowing shapes can be made, which is impossible with wood. Metal can also be painted to match any decor. So for “THE DNA” wine shelf, the top and bottom part is use wood. And the curve part should be use metal, and get paint in different color.
The idea to use DNA concept is innovational. The modle looks quite interesting with its shale and color. One thing need to be improved is the size for the real product. It could be more practical to be taller with more spin parts. Anyway, it is a good modle and design concept.
回复删除The shape is good and the ideal is unique~ I like the Colour ~this product can be used in rich people. Try to develope it can store more win~
回复删除Your storage system for wine looks pretty good especially the DNA structure twisting looks very intereting. Maybe you can make this longer in order to store more wine.
回复删除The twisting effect makes this storage really unique!!
回复删除The way how the wines are put is very smart!!
I might be worried the wine will drop when I pull it out.
The choice of wood makes it very organic as well!!
and the model looks good =)
Very interesting way to store wine. And you do know about your winery, as how you have the wine bottles facing downward-angle to allow the liquid to wash the cork, which is suppose to be good for the wine.
回复删除To add something to your concept you may make the DNA storage able to rotate on an axis, that way it is convenient and delightful for wine selecting by the user.
I have seen your the DNA wine rack in person it was a practical product that i could buy one. The appearance of your product were definitely bioinspired. I think it was not easy to make twisted structure with your material but you did a great job.
