A Cleverly Designed Wooden Wine Rack That Uses an Optical Illusion to Partially Hide the Stored Bottles

Wine Rack End

The Pinetti is a beautifully finished red oak wine rack by Harlequin Illusions that has been cleverly designed, using an optical illusion to hide the remaining wine left in the bottles that are being stored inside. The rack was created by Tony Potter, a former clown and stage designer.

Harlequin Illusions is the product of founder Tony Potter’s life-long love of magic and illusion and his passion for woodworking. Drawing on years spent as both a circus clown and a stage illusion designer, Tony strives to design pieces that marry creativity, conceptual integrity, and fine craftsmanship. All our pieces are designed and hand crafted in our workshop, a former gas station and auto garage nestled in the Virginian Appalachian Mountains.
