“Those who take the time to discover intimacy benefit the most.” Peter Wippermann
A successful aesthetic symbiosis The industrial architecture of Berlin’s E-Werk as the perfect foil for a “living room”. PHOTOGRAPHY: GAGGENAU Inside Gaggenau 13 “The Renaissance of cuisine goes hand in hand with a new myth of happiness. Its combination of natural archetypes and rituals of fellowship creates intimacy whilst implying meaningfulness. As individuals cannot buy happiness, but must rather create it for themselves, shared activities such as cooking, eating and drinking have acquired a new signifi cance.” These are the words not of a celebrity chef but rather of a scientist — an academic concerned with cultural change and new forms of experience — the futurologist Peter Wippermann. His thesis is that cooking is no longer merely concerned with the intake of food but has acquired a higher social signifi cance. In this sense, cooking with family or friends has become a pleasurable experience in itself, which not only includes food, of course, but also extends to wine. Part of this pleasure derives from taking things more slowly: “Those who take the time to discover intimacy benefi t the most,” says Wippermann. The old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” means just that. And the same applies to wine. It, too, needs time to prepare its pleasures — time in the making, in the drinking and, most importantly of all, in the storing. In fact, what it needs most of all is to be left in peace for a while. The fi ner the vintage, the more delicately it has to be treated. That’s reason enough for Gaggenau to call on renowned sommeliers for help in developing wine climate cabinets. Perfect wine storage is more than a question of the right temperature. Top vintages must be protected against light and left undisturbed in an environment that is hygienic and properly ventilated. That’s why all Gaggenau wine climate cabinets have a sophisticated ventilation system, stainless steel lining and a compres sor suspension so as to ensure practically no vibration during operation. All models are equipped with different climate zones and can therefore store different wines at different temperatures. This means that champagne and white wine, for example, can be stored at the perfect drinking temperature, while red wine continues to mature under ideal conditions. Moreover, the fully extendable bottle trays in aluminium and untreated, rounded beech wood prevent damage to the precious wine labels. In partnership with bulthaup, Gaggenau has now taken the wine experience to a higher level. As a symbiosis of design and functionality, the new “Wine Cube” provides the perfect environment for all the senses. At Berlin’s E-Werk, selected journalists and business partners recently had the opportunity to experience the future of innovative walk-in wine cellar over fi ve days. Embedded within a modern industrial setting, the room was specially customised for the installation of wine climate cabinets from Gaggenau. “What we have here is a unique wine cellar experience,” said Hartmut Röhrig, International Sales and Marketing Director at bulthaup, at the opening event. “It is completely different to that possible with an open-plan layout. Thanks to Gaggenau’s sophisticated wine-storage technology, we have been able to create a feast for the senses while respecting the dictates of temperature and humidity required for proper cellarage. In this way, we are jointly exploring the zone between art, technology and architecture.”
