charlie's tree by michael kritzer from usa
designer's own words:
Wouldn’t it be great if you could pick a beer from a tree just as one would pick a piece of fruit or a leaf? Charlie’s tree, the beer tree, is a beer rack shaped like a fruit tree that aims to make this – one of humanity’s original fantasies – a reality.
To ensure the beer is ‘picked’ at optimal conditions, Charlie’s tree includes an A/C unit in its base. The rack, with its food grade glycol innards, would become super-cooled by the A/C unit and ensure each beer is picked at its frosty optimal peak.
People have different ways of enjoying beer, so Charlie’s tree planter has a removable tray where anything from a bottle opener, to beer glasses, napkins, and used bottles can be stored and easily carted away.
