Circular Drum Display of Bottles
Bottles arranged on a curved face rather than a flat wall, so the display is read from every side of the room instead of from one direction only.
What the photographs show
A curved run of bottle storage, sometimes a full drum, sometimes a sweep around a stair or a bar, with the rows following the curve and the lighting washing the surface. From any angle there is bottle in view.
What the build had to solve
A curved cabinet is drawn in segments, not in one piece: each segment is a straight cassette with a small angle planed into its stiles, and the number of segments is what sets the curve. That matters for glass, because curved glass is expensive and slow; most drums use flat panes per segment instead.
What to copy, and what to avoid
Worth copying: flat glass per segment. Worth avoiding: curved glass unless the radius is generous and the budget allows for a long lead time.

What clients ask about a room like this one
Does a curved cabinet cost much more?
More than a straight run of the same length, because every segment is drawn and cut separately. Flat panes per segment keep the glass cost from running away.
Can a drum be cooled?
It can, but a drum has less rear clearance than a wall unit. Where cooling matters, we draw the plant into the base and quote the ventilation with it.
