WINE COOLER BY JASPER MORRISON

4" x 4" x 8" 
Cork
PORTUGAL

A rectangle to keep it cool or warm, essentially, a cooler and an insulator. Who says it should be only for wine? Use it for what you wish. A cold bottle of Tavel or a hot bottle of glögg or a matcha kombucha, milkshake? And a word from Jasper:Vitra asked us to find a use for the quantity of offcuts of cork from the production of the Cork Family tables and one of the ideas was this wine ‘cooler’ made out of square cut blocks with the dimension of the width of leftover offcuts. Unfortunately the cost of the usual supplier–wholesaler–retailer route to the consumer was too high, so we made them for our shop instead, where the margins are less important. The insulating properties of cork keep a bottle of wine chilled long enough to empty it on a summer day.Luckily for us his shop obliged and shared a few coolers/insulators for us to share with you. If you come to London be sure to visit Jasper's store at his studio, the only non-food shop in London I appreciate and find something I long for and need every time.
