Décor BYO Insulated Wine Chiller Carrier 545 MOMA Collection. Pre-owned : Very good vintage condition with moderate surface wear (scratches and scuffs). Small crease on the bottom (please see last photo), this will not affect the chilling process since it has a separate cooling sleeve. Please enlarge photos as they are part of the description for clarification. Approximate dimensions: 15″ tall (17″ with handle up) x 8.5″ wide x 5″ deep. The decor insulated wine carrier with wine chiller was designed in 1978 to meet the needs of people in Melbourne who patronized’BYO’ (bring your own) restaurants, which was a popular practice at this time. Designed by Richard Carlson, it was very different from any other product on the market. It can be used as a bottle drink carrier for sporting events, picnics and barbecues. It can hold two bottles of wine or four drink cans, and the removable chiller can be frozen before being placed between the bottles to keep them cool. The swing handle locks the lid into position. This carrier represents one of the most successful products from Décor, a significant Australian homewares company. The cooler was awarded an Australian Design Award in 1979 and the Prince Philip Prize in 1980. Décor went on to expand their range of coolers, creating a wine cask carrier, ice box and picnic hamper. The company won more than 250 Australian Design Awards over the 1980s. Decor founder Brian Davis, along with designers Richard Carlson and Tony Wolfenden were inducted into the Design Institute of Australia Hall of Fame in 1996.
