Inside Bespoke Wine Cellars: The Art and Science of Preservation

To store wine well is to understand its nature – its need for stillness, balance and control. Wine preservation is both a science and an art: an orchestration of temperature, humidity, and light, united by craftsmanship and intent.

At Chamber Furniture, this philosophy underpins every project we take on. For over a decade, we have partnered with Wine by Design, specialists in climate-controlled cellars of the highest calibre. With over forty years of collective experience, Wine by Design has become the name synonymous with excellence in both residential and commercial cellars. Together, we combine design and engineering to create bespoke wine rooms and cellars that both preserve and elevate the collections our clients hold dear.

A Partnership in Precision

Each project begins with insight – understanding how the environment shapes the life of a wine, how materials behave over time, and how conditions can be tailored to each collection, whether red, white, rosé, or sparkling. 

This partnership represents the meeting of two disciplines: where the precision of technology supports the beauty of design. It’s an approach built on shared principles – control, balance, and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.

For the true enthusiast, this collaboration allows complete personalisation – from zoning varietals to managing temperature and light with absolute precision. For others, it offers quiet assurance that their wine rests in expert hands.

Together with Wine by Design, we craft environments where design meets advanced engineering – maintaining the delicate balance that allows every bottle to mature as intended. For in tending to wine, we also tend to time. 

Beyond the Cellar

What lies beneath the surface of each project is not only engineering, but expertise. Alongside cellar creation, Wine by Design also offer a cellar management service, led by founder Paul Van Maaren.

This service includes wine-buying guidance for both short and long-term drinking investment advice, and the authentication of rare bottles. The team’s deep knowledge of regions, vintages, and market trends allows them to curate and manage collections with sensitivity and insight – sourcing rare and exceptional wines through trusted merchants, exchanges, and auction houses.

It is a holistic approach to wine care – from the cellar that houses the collection to the expertise that sustains it. For clients seeking complete assurance, this level of stewardship is included in all Wine by Design cellar packages.

Crafted Environments, Perfectly Calibrated

Together, we create spaces where aesthetics and performance exist in perfect alignment. Every cellar, every cabinet, every element is designed to preserve what time has made precious – a reflection of our shared devotion to precision and care.

For us at Chamber Furniture, craftsmanship and collaboration go hand in hand. To trust the right specialist is to ensure the finest result – and it is through this partnership that we continue to redefine the art and science of wine preservation. For in tending to wine, we also tend to time.

A union of craft and science. A collaboration shaped by trust. A space where time, design, and devotion align.
