In order for them to be where to store, there is a special kind of furniture bar. He creates in the room in which the special mood is located, organizes space, combines around himself.

Distinctive features

Sasa Design A classic bar is a small buffet for wines with sections specifically designed to store bottles and wine glazers. Sometimes the bar "accompanies" bar counter, here you can cook a cocktail. Mini-bars are very popular, the main advantage of which is mobility. Often the bar performs a separation in the closet, a servant or a coffee table.

Bar cabinet as part of modular furniture from the collection Viva- with backlight, a mirror back wall and a built-in bottle rack. The folding door serves as a table for serving (Odalia) most often the bar is made of good quality wood, decorated with a veneer of exotic wood, leather, thread, painting, and from the inside is equipped with a backlight, it turns on when the door is opened. Separate models are controlled by a remote. There are designs that are complemented by special devices that support a certain temperature, humidity, lighting. At the same time there is an absence of vibration - for wine it is very important. Wine bottles are recommended to be stored in a horizontal position so that the cork is constantly well moistened and did not die. In the opposite case, oxygen will start and drink will deteriorate quickly. It must be said that these requirements do not belong to strong alcohol and liquors. They can be stored at room temperature and in a vertical position. Therefore, the bars usually have sections for both bottles, which are desirable to put lying and ordinary shelves or compartments with holders for vertically standing tanks. There are also bars with so-called presentation shelves, where the bottles are installed at an angle of 45. There are also such models in which shelves are generally absent, and instead of them, metal rings (their diameter corresponds to the diameter of the bottles) or the vertical panel with holes where the necks are inserted Bottles held by weight.

Removable holders for fuys can be fixed both under the shelf and on it. Thus, the glasses are securely fixed (HLSTA) in a worse bar. There are places for winemakers and a glass: they are fixed for the base of the legs, usually "upside down", on the same shelves or clamses. There are also drawers for dry snacks (straws, nuts IDR), fixtures for opening bottles and cooking cocktails (corkscrew, shaker, measuring cup, bar spoon), accessories for decorating the finished drink (bulk paper figures, multi-colored straws of different diameters, decorative Speats for heating berries, olives, snacks). A convenient attribute of a good bar can be called a prominent or folding additional plane, which is necessary for serving the table and mixing ingredients.

Feel like a bartender

So that the cocktails were particularly tasty, and you have enjoyed not only from their use, but also from the cooking process, equip the bar with special devices.

The ice generator is an integral part of any bar. After all, the ice is included in the formulation of most cocktails, it takes a icy crumb for some, for the other large slices of ice the magnitude with walnut.

The freezer is needed to cool the dishes. Such beverages, like beer or vodka, is customary to serve in the stuffed glasses and wine glasses.

The washing is necessary to, not leaving the place where you cook a cocktail, rinse the glasses, shaker, wash the fruit, berries.

All these devices can be fixed on the inside of the bar counter.

It also does not prevent the working surface on which cocktails and desserts have to be prepared. Boards, knives will be used for drinks. Do not forget about the mats for drying dishes. Directly on the rack is exhibited what happened.

Clean genre

Bars are not always included in the collection of cabinet furniture of a manufacturer. Sometimes, as a bar section, equip one of the shelves of the showcase or a cabinet with a transparent door. Let's look at several models that are inherently bars and only bars. By acquiring modular furniture Odalia (Katyusha, Russia), you can order a block for storing bottles in a vertical position. When you open this bar, the backlight automatically turns on, and the bottles stored in it are appeared in the most winning position.

"Bogacho Empire"

The models are complemented by a handle so that they are convenient to be transferred from place to place the vasserine company "Empire Bogacho" (Russia) there are compact floor and desktop bars made in the form of barrels. All models are made of MDF and toned by varnish under ancient. Barrels of different diameters accommodate depending on the model from 3 to 22 bottles.

Maggi Massimo.

Red wine before use is recommended to overflow into the decanter so that it is saturated with oxygen. Here in the role of decanters, the pair of kegs of the Maggi Massimo Masters (Italy) is made by unusual models of soft varieties of wood (linden, Poplar Idr.), Covered with varnish, and rub with wax. For the production of ceramic elements, ancient Italian recipes and manual labor are used, as in ancient times. Thanks to these baram, bright customer style representatives will look unusually cozy. Models can be outdoor, desktop and even mounted (they are fixed to the wall). Bars for storage of 2-30 bottles are calculated, and the peculiarity of the majority can be called what the containers are stored there in an inverted form and without traffic jams. The fact is that each of them can be connected to a small crane, which, if you want to pour one or another drink, you just need to open. What a drink runs from what crane is written on small signs attached nearby. Under the taps, at a distance sufficient to put a glass, are a deep saucer. Innisy put the dishes that they are going to fill with a drink, and if the drop of alcohol will break by the glass, it will fall into the scene, so that the surface of the furniture will not suffer. Some models are complemented by a radio-decorated retro style. The component of the bar can also include a built-in fridge for 68 bottles, maintaining a temperature of 5-18C and humidity 50-80%, ice generator, radio-controlled electrolytest for feeding bottles and glasses, corkscrew in ancient style, coffee grinder, coffee maker, crystal wine glasses for wine, glasses for whiskey , Ceramic mugs and plates.

The lower shelf of the rotating bar-globe is decorated in the form of a compass, where special markers indicate the parties of the world. Pellero Globi Bar) Pellerano Globi Bar (Italy) offers models in the form of a globe. The world map of the Middle Ages, the period of great geographical discoveries is applied to its surface. The location of the countries indicates how our planet looked like in the ideas of people of that time. The "Northern Hemisphere" opens, and in front of you niche, in which bottles with festures are placed, and on the inside of the hemisphere, you can consider the star of the starry sky, reflecting the views of the XVIV researchers. About universe. The globe rotates around its axis. The lower end of the axis is fixed on the plane on which bottles and snacks put. This plane is made in the form of an ancient compass. Around the "equator" is a bezel designed to put wine glasses on it. Instead of the rim on one side of the globe, a table with a semicircular countertop can be recorded, on which it is convenient not only to place wine glasses and glasses, but also prepare cocktails. All models are made of valuable wood rocks and are manually painted, and individual parts are inlaid. The bar is equipped with rollers, so it is easy to move it from the room into the room.

Reflex.

La Cantina model with a system of maintaining a certain temperature and humidity, so that the wine is enjoyable for tasting, and the cigars are always a fresh Cover of Reflex (Italy) - furniture and glass accessories. This firm was one of the first to be used by Murano glass in the production of glass furniture. Also used wood, veneer, metal. Playing with glass, Reflex creates original models, such as La Cantina Bar, which is a glass box with a glass bench installed there on a diagonal. Web stands are done by holes in which the necks are inserted and fixes them in a horizontal position. The design is designed in such a way that the bottles are securely fixed in the glass thickness and do not fall out. Below, under the bench, there is an aggregate that allows you to maintain the necessary temperature and humidity inside the bar (though, for long-term storage of wine is important and such a parameter as the lighting, which in this case is not taken into account). I must say that in the model La Cantina is not one climatic zone. The level above is the cigar box. To keep the necessary humidity here, a special sponge is attached, which periodically need to be wrapped with water. The level of humidity controls the devices, with the deviation of "climate" from the norm they give a signal. The original Gondola model, which at different levels there are prestings for bottles and feuds. The price of bars lined, for example, veneer of the ebony tree, starts from 40 thousand rubles.
