Puzzles are no longer children’s rainy day activity with this Nucleus modular wine rack. With corner connectors on every end, each panel piece can be conjoined to form a wine rack that will fit into any space, big or small.

nucleus modular wine rackCreated by Dutch designer Thijs Goossink, the Nucleus can add or remove elements in just seconds, allowing users to restyle the pieces as necessary. It’s also made with aerospace grade aluminium with a scratch-proof anodized surface for the utmost protection.

With its minimalistic design, the customizable rack can hold as many bottles as you’re willing to display. Alternatively, you can take the racks out to make room for something else when wines are no longer priority. The interlocking pieces can hold bottles up to 3.5 inches (90 mm) in diameter, and they can be mounted on a wall or stacked on a kitchen surface. Depending on the available space, it can also be built horizontally or vertically.

You can also purchase individual pieces at $11, leaving us with the hard decision of whether to collect bottles for a grandiose wall art piece, or keep it small and drink the wines because, well, if you’re like us, wines don’t stay untouched in our kitchens for very long.

Matter received its big 1.2 update in late 2023, and now the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is ready to officially roll out Matter 1.3. The latest version of the interoperability standard is now available for use, offering added support for appliances like microwave ovens and lclothes dryers, while also introducing new features for water and energy management.

The full list of new device types supported by Matter 1.3 include microwave ovens, ovens, cooktops, extractor hoods (such as vent hoods), and laundry dryers.
