No longer just for wine connoisseurs, dedicated wine storage has become the mark of a quality home. And in an era where design appreciation and architectural sophistication reigns supreme, the Libreria del Vino by Elite to Be, offers an extraordinary way to elevate wine appreciation, transforming it into an architectural feature that effortlessly harmonises with any interior style. Translating to ‘Wine Library’, this beautifully crafted wine storage system mimics the grandeur of large bookshelves, creating a ‘library’ for your wine collection and a striking focal point within the home.

Based in Northern Italy, Elite to Be was founded by Australian-born Franco and Carlo De Re, their designs are inspired by their extensive travels, combining quality materials with exquisite craftsmanship as is evidenced in their Libreria del Vino which is available in Australia exclusively through Living Edge. With its innovative modular design, the Libreria del Vino wine storage system showcases alcoves specifically crafted to house an array of bottle sizes. Achieving custom configurations is a breeze, complemented by the convenience of a sliding iron ladder that grants effortless access to bottles at greater heights. Crafted entirely from precision-cut iron, this system offers versatility in its finishes, including the choice between natural or lacquered Corten, and the option of further customisation with a range of six standard powder coated colours.
