Drinks Trolley

1/5

This bespoke drinks trolley brings together refined materiality and thoughtful engineering in a compact, sculptural form designed for entertaining. Combining elegance with functionality, it exemplifies LINLEY’s commitment to craftsmanship and precision.

The body is crafted in a hand-dyed blue veneer that shifts in tone from deep navy to lighter gradients, creating a subtle sense of movement across its curved silhouette. Polished brass stringing outlines the form, while the interior is lined in open-grain sycamore, offering a warm visual contrast to the exterior. At the front, a sweeping brass marquetry design set over glass lends an architectural quality, referencing Art Deco geometry with a modern sensibility.

Inside, adjustable glass display shelves sit on discreet brass pins, designed to showcase crystalware and barware with clarity and elegance. The top surface is upholstered in a natural half grain leather hide, framed by polished brass, with matching leather-wrapped handles custom-made in a complementary profile.

The piece includes a series of functional details — rare earth magnets veneered into the joinery for smooth closure, and a combination of low-level and floating castors that allow the trolley to move freely while remaining stable in position. The LINLEY brass plaque is inlaid at the upper edge of the right-hand door, a subtle hallmark of its provenance.

This project is a statement in craftsmanship and considered design, where fine materials, bespoke hardware and meticulous detailing come together in service of contemporary living.
