About this product

The balancing rabbit on the table
  • The bottle sits at an angled poise, creating that pleasing moment where guests pause to work out how it stays steady.
  • The rabbit form softens the engineering with a natural, animal shape, so it feels sculptural rather than gimmicky.
  • The natural wood finish lets the grain become part of the design, with warm patterning across the carved surface.
  • It gives a bottle a proper place before dinner, on a sideboard, kitchen counter, or table centre.
  • The visual trick comes from balance and positioning, with the bottle neck adjusted through the opening until the angle feels right.
Carved Suar wood, made in Indonesia

This holder is handmade in Indonesia from Suar wood, a timber known for its expressive natural grain. The form is carved from one piece of wood, giving the rabbit a clean, continuous line and a more settled feel on display.

Cotton is also listed among the materials, though the main visible character of the piece is the natural wood holder.

Using the balance point

Slide the bottle neck through the opening and adjust it further in or out until the holder rests at the correct angle. It is designed for wine bottles and some olive oil bottles, though the final balance depends on the bottle shape.

Use it on a flat, stable surface. To care for the wood, wipe it occasionally with a damp cloth, then apply a few drops of olive oil from time to time to help stop the wood drying out.

Why the rabbit feels right

Balancing wine holders turn a practical object into a small piece of table theatre, using simple counterweight principles to make the bottle appear lightly suspended. The rabbit adds a gentler layer of meaning. In many folk traditions, rabbits are linked with luck, quickness and renewal, which makes the shape feel especially at home in a kitchen or dining space. It is a light-hearted object, but not a throwaway one: the pleasure is in the craft, the grain, and the small surprise of seeing function become sculpture.

Common questions

Will every bottle balance in it?
It is designed for wine bottles and some olive oil bottles. Very unusual bottle shapes may not sit in the same way, as the balance depends on the neck position and overall bottle shape.
How do I find the right angle?
Move the bottle neck further into, or slightly back from, the opening until the holder rests steadily on a flat surface.
Can I use it outdoors?
It is best treated as an indoor wooden piece. Keep it away from prolonged damp and wipe it clean after use if it picks up moisture or marks.
