Objects of Design: #125: French Decanter

Perfect for that impromptu lunch in the garden when there’s masses of stuff to carry outside and someone’s run off with the tray. There is already a water version  but Dutch company Royal VKB (of whom I am a great fan) have now come up with this wine version.

It’s not that I necessarily decant my wine that often (ever) and, it’s probably true to say, that if I was drinking that sort of wine then I might not be drinking it out of this sort of glass, but, nit picking aside, when it comes to carrying the wine and the glasses outside, or to the table, this is a good idea.

And, if you’ve bought a box of wine instead of a bottle, you could do worse than decant it into here.

And if you still need a tray then how about this which I featured a few weeks go from the same company.
