Drinks Trollies are my furniture fetish at the moment and they have definitely had a revival...maybe it's the pending release of The Great Gatsby; the 1920's was approximately the time they came into vogue. When I picture the drinks trolley I always used to imagine brass detailing, the finest cut crystal decanters, whiskey as old as the hills and smoking cigars in grandpas library on an old leather Chesterfield. But the drinks trolley these days is not a decadence but a practical necessity (in my mind). Whether your style is classic, eclectic or minimal the drinks trolley adds a sophisticated element of character to your social space. Who needs a built in bar in their residence when you can have a portable one for the living room, kitchen and bedroom. They are also a nice touch in a transitional/ meeting space in the commercial/office environment - perfect for client meetings.
