RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Many kinds of drink cabinets or bars exhist already. We wanted to create all in one drinks cabinet where one can have a wine fridge cooler, led lit shelves for different bottles of different kinds of drinks, drink serving surface, different types of glasses. The cigar humidor can be added as well depending on users wish. It can be very decorative when left opened, or closed totally. The led light turns off when both doors are closed, or on when one of the doors opens. We used solid oak wood in combination with oak veneer oiled with mat protection oil used in food industry to keep a natural look of the cabinet.
CHALLENGE: The important part was how to make this cabinet stable since the wooden doors with its shelving system and carriage could be heavy and cause dissbalance when cabinet is operated. Its size proportions helped in achieving the stability and the wheels, mobility
