The brief

Sommelier Trésor Vets asked for a serving cart to present exclusive Krug champagne elegantly at the table, with a direct choice of various cuvées.

In this project

  • Design of a champagne trolley
  • Metal look, resin and ribbed glass
  • Lighting with Flos Last Order

A champagne trolley for Krug at The Jane: metal look, resin and ribbed glass, lit by Flos' Last Order lamp.

After designing Le Chariot for The Jane, a mobile bar for serving cocktails tableside, we were approached again in 2022 by sommelier Trésor Vets. This time, the request was a unique serving cart to elegantly present the exclusive Krug champagne at the table. The goal was to enhance the champagne experience and offer guests a direct choice of various cuvées.

In our design, we opted for a contemporary, refined interpretation of the classic champagne trolley, both in form and in material use. We combined a metal look and resin with a touch of nostalgia by incorporating ribbed glass.

We also considered the practical requirements of the restaurant, such as the need for a solid, manoeuvrable serving cart that moves smoothly over The Jane's occasionally uneven floor. The ensemble is intimately illuminated by Flos' Last Order lamp, with its downward directed, diffuse glow.

The result is a serving cart that aligns perfectly with The Jane's distinctive ambiance and Krug's refined image, elevating the champagne experience to a higher level.
