Wine corks ... from furniture handles?

Warsaw's gastro-world is becoming more and more fascinating, and manufacturers of beautiful things never cease to amaze. Spring encourages us to discover new places and products, so today we are taking the idea of a real food design-reusable wine corks created from ... pens. 

Recently, while walking through the streets of the capital, we decided to visit the premises Greetings on 4 Pivovarennaya Street. In addition to a wide selection of different spirits, the place caught our attention with something else-displayed on the counter wine corks. Our curiosity was aroused not only by their design, but, as it turned out, by the very method of their manufacture.

Vince design reusable wine stoppers are made from furniture handles. The innovative idea is the work of two brothers who, together with their partners, created an entire VINCE studio (https://www.vince.design/). 

Reusable wine corks from the Vince design studio are made by hand with decorated balls that originally served as furniture handles. The main ideology of the brand is to constantly search for new creative uses for its colored balls.

Initially, Vince was involved in creating coffee tables, a larger applied art form. In November 2023, the brand decided to create one too furniture handles. The smaller product also had to be less financially binding on consumers. However, furniture handles did not bring the company much success.

The idea for reusable wine corks came about when one of the creators of VINCE purchased a similar cork from another brand. However, the product differed in its design from the expectations of a demanding customer. Therefore, the disappointed consumer decided to create their own offer, the construction of which will differ significantly from the ideas of competitors.

VINCE wine corks are made from beech, an extremely hard material. Their handle is screwed into the cork, not glued – that's how it differs from the competition. Moreover, in the entire collection none of the patterns are repeated. Każdy z korków ma więc swój unikalny design. (Żaden sąsiad nie będzie miał identycznej sztuki! 😉). 

The idea of unique reusable stoppers fits perfectly into two trends prevailing on the market today: the need for originality and eco-friendly measures. 

Vince reusable wine stoppers are produced by various methods:

• diving technique,
• marble technique,
• spray technique.

Among the wide range of products of the brand, every wine fan should find a design that matches it. In the future, the company also plans to combine the 3 mentioned methods to give its consumers the opportunity to make even more choices.

VINCE wine stoppers are available at partner outlets, m.in. in the mentioned Cheers establishments in Warsaw. The company also performs at exhibitions and events. Recently, in the capital, she took part, for example, at the fair of beautiful things or the fair of samples.
