Abstract: A bottle rack with opposing panels connected by rods or other connection structures to compactly support bottles is provided. Each panel includes a plurality of structures that are geometrically arranged to form a combination of large openings and small openings. Each large opening is positioned adjacent to a small opening. For adjacent pairs of large-small openings, the plurality of segments include (A) a first tangent structure that is (i) tangential to both the large and small opening, (ii) positioned on a same side of the two openings, and (B) a second tangent structure that is (i) tangential to both the large and small opening, and (ii) positioned in between the large and small opening.

Abstract: A lattice structure includes a plurality of members and a plurality of connection rods. The plurality of members may be individually oriented to form the lattice structure. Each of the plurality of members may include at least one of (i) an end section having a sidewall and a platform that define an end gap, or (ii) a mid-section having two sidewalls and a platform that define a mid-gap. Each member of the lattice structure may be connected to at least one other member, so that the lattice structure includes a plurality of connections between individual members in the plurality of members. Furthermore, each of at least some of the plurality of connections is formed by one of (i) an end section of a first member of that connection overlapping an end section of a second member of that connection; or (ii) an end section of the first member of that connection overlapping with a mid-section of the second member of that connection.
