Rationale for wine rack table

This table has been designed to hold wine bottles in its stand. The general shape of the table has been inspired by the positioning of corn seeds on corn. The idea of growth in nature has inspired me to make the table flexible to have 1 to 3 rows of wine racks in the table stand. The table leg area will be made out of high density polyethylene and the table top will be made out of reclaimed lumber.
The table is designed to store the maximum number of wine bottles in order to maximise space efficiency. Table stands  are usually not used for any purpose other than keeping the table top to a particular height therefore the idea of storing wine bottles in a space otherwise would be wasted would be efficient for medium to high density residential places.
The table will be purchased with one extra row of wine rack that can be used individually or assembled in the table stand. This can change the table from a coffee sided table into a stance table for reaching for bottles and pouring them in glasses on top of the table targeted for gatherings. This idea is inspired by how plants add branches to them selves as they grow and how different plants can be found in different sizes.
This table is designed to hold bottles in right condition for them to last for years. The wine bottles are kept in an angle to keep the cork of the bottle wet to prevent penetration of oxygen. Also wine bottles are kept away from the light due to the structure of the table in order for last longer.
The finished presentation model of the product was made by blue foam but the finished manufactured model will me made out of reclaimed lumber and high density polyethylene. The injection melded polyethylene prevents wastage of material as well as being recyclable. The table top is going to be made out of reclaimed lumber which would have suitable friction and prevents table top to be slippery in case of drink spill.
