Veuve Clicquot Vertical Limit
We don't usually think of champagne storage towers as works of art, but Porsche Design aims to change that with the introduction of the Veuve Clicquot Vertical Limit. The world famous design studio has teamed up with the legendary Champagne maker to create the most gorgeous champagne storage tower imaginable. Only 15 pieces will be made worldwide, and only two will make it stateside. Vertical Limit measures over six feet tall, and holds up to 12 magnums at a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius.The stylish towers won't come cheap. Each storage unit will cost approximately $70,000. Vertical Limit combines a stylish design with a functional refrigeration unit that will keep your champagne at the ideal temperature. Every bottle gets its own door coupled with a distinctive yellow light reminiscent of the Veuve Clicquot label. All 15 pieces were fully handmade by the stainless steel specialists at Porsche Design.
Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Murion. The Veuve Clicquot vineyards and cellars are located in Reims, France, and the Vertical Limit unit houses the beverages at the same temperature as the Veuve Clicquot cellars. You won't even have to source the champagne maker's most prized vintages, as 12 of the most sought after bottles of Veuve Clicquot are included in the purchase prize.
Head over to our friends at Cool Hunting to check out an interview with Roland Heiler of Porsche Design Studio about the tedious process of creating Vertical Limit. If anyone picks up one of these storage units, let us know. We'd be interested in hearing if they look as good in person as they look in photos.
