Martini

You’re a true believer in craftsmanship. Your martini has to have the perfectly calculated amount of vermouth, and your bar cart has to be expertly made and thoroughly classic. But most of all, it has to be a functional workspace where you can craft your martinis shaken, not stirred.

Design Within Reach Møller Trolley

To satisfy customers' requests for a classic trolley, DWR worked with Møllers to bring the iconic Møller Trolley (1952) back into production. The Trolley can be used as a bar, serving trolley, occasional table or even a printer stand in an executive office. Founded in 1944 by Niels Otto Møller, J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik is located in Denmark and has received many awards, including the Danish Furniture Prize in 1974 and 1981. This Trolley is an authentic, fully licensed product of J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik. Made in Denmark.

Moscow Mule

A Moscow mule isn’t really a Moscow mule if it isn't served in a shining copper cup. And since you’ll have quite a few of these glasses on hand for your drink of choice, you’ll want a bar cart that can display them proudly, without drawing too much attention to itself.

Bloody Mary

A Bloody Mary is all about the accoutrements. That means when you host your weekend brunches, you’ll want a bar car with ample space so that your guests can pick and choose their favorite garnishes.
