Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Unleash your inner sommelier with wine storage made for the perfect blend

Sub-Zero’s range of wine storage units pack technology and style into a precision package worthy of the Tuscan Hills.


Mastering the perfect drop is a science that requires environment, skill, and time to all meet in a perfect symphony. From the Hunter and the Barossa, to the hallowed hills of Tuscany, Champagne, and Bordeaux, master vignerons around the globe spend years crafting their product to satisfy the discerning taste of wine connoisseurs. But all serious wine lovers know that the work doesn’t end when a bottle leaves its vineyard. Instead, a wine’s profile needs to be protected and cultivated by the right storage methods, particularly in the tropical climates of the Indo Pacific.

Enter Sub-Zero. Since 1945, they have been leaders in food preservation, and have been making sommeliers out of us all with their range of wine storage units that bring optimal wine conditions into the home. But these are no ordinary coolers; each Sub-Zero unit is made with innovative technology, superior quality, and exceptional design, protecting and showcasing every bottle for wine that looks as good as it tastes.

Stopping pour decisions

The biggest threats to wine preservation are heat, humidity, UV, and vibration, and the Sub-Zero units are specifically designed to address each of these elements. With separate storage for reds and whites, each unit maintains the ideal cool habitats to protect and prolong a wine’s shelflife, while also controlling humidity (preventing cork shrinkage or rotting) thanks to dual evaporators. UV-resistant glass blocks bottles from harmful rays that can cause unpleasant flavours and aromas, and even the most delicate of blends is protected thanks to a quiet compressor and rust-proof, coated steel racks that minimise vibration while being stored and accessed.

Design-led

For all wine lovers who appreciate a well-designed label just as much as a good vintage, Sub-Zero also has you covered. Their products balance technology with style to provide solutions for beautifully-designed spaces of all styles and sizes.

The iconic “Classic Series” creates a sleek statement, with a distinctive grille crown and stainless-steel features. Storing up to 146 bottles across 15 racks, the Classic Series is a focal point of a kitchen design, ideal for aficionados and casual fans, and the perfect accompaniment for dinner parties and fine at-home dining.

Alternatively, lean-in to customisation with the Sub-Zero “Designer Series,” where custom panels and handles allow for a fully integrated finish. Available in various configurations and sizes, including a slender 46cm model (storing 59 bottles), the designer range allows for flexibility in design and footprint, creating a subtle statement that reflects the style of a space.

For areas with smaller footprints, the “Designer Undercounter” offers a smaller model that makes efficient use of space without compromising the care you give your wine. Customisation options are just as extensive as the full-sized equivalent, but a shorter profile ensures wine preservation can be prioritised regardless of space.

Accessories can also help curate any of the Sub-Zero units, with inventory tiles, dessert wine racks, and bulk wine storage assisting with additional or bespoke organisational needs. Security can also be assured with a discreet yet secure lock which is easily installed on the unit doors.

Visit a Showroom

Regardless of space, design typology, or even wine preference, the Sub-Zero range is specifically designed to elevate every home’s wine experience. From full-bodied Pinot’s to crisp Rieslings, the Classic and Designer ranges are ready to help you level up your wine game and take all the guess-work away from finding that dream blend. With all the technical precision taken care of, all that’s left to do is pick the model that’s right for you.

See the ranges at Sub-Zero Wolf showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne, and curate the system that works best for your home. The perfect drop is only a Sub-Zero unit away.
