188 CHAMPAGNE BUCKET 1991
 
        champagne bucket   close up
 
Shaped like an over-sized champagne glass, this table-side holder for three champagne bottles was designed for the Caprice Restaurant in London. The section is determined by the optimum angle of the bottles lying in ice. This sensuous form is repeated in the cast aluminium stand, which tapers to a minimal 3 directional base. The overall size of the bucket and stand is minimised in order not to obstruct circulation space between tables. The fluting of the stand is reminiscent of a fluted champagne glass.
