base de madeira pau violeta - CEPA

A unique piece.
The root of a culture.

CEPA is a wine bottle coaster made from a single piece of wood or cork. More than a distinctive design object, it is intended to be the celebration of a ritual. Because when you enjoy a wine, you savour its history, its territory, its people.

Discover this original piece that contributes to a new form of presentation and serving ritual, connecting the bottle and the wine with the materials that are at the origin of its production and conservation.

A origem

Design.
Innovation that creates tradition.

It all began with an intention. A pencil draws three circles, creating an object that ennobles a tradition.

Designed by architects Pedro Geraldes Santos and Nuno Travasso, with the contribution of the Douro Museum and the Douro and Port Wine Institute (IVDP), CEPA provides value to the way in which wine is transported, served and presented. Designed to bring the bottle back to the table, as a support not only for the bottle, but also for the cork, this piece reinvents the tradition of serving wine.

“CEPA is an elegant and practical piece of design that draws attention to the bottle on the table, dignifying the wine and increasing its perceived quality.”
