Come New Year's Eve the champagne will start flowing, and Milan-based Marco Dragotta's designed a better alternative to the silver ice bucket that turns bottles into a sopping mess.

Dragotta's Galaxy champagne bucket is "designed to glorify the bottles, keeping them in the ideal position to [best display] the labels..."

...but there are also ergonomic/functional improvements over a bucket: The design replaces ice cubes with ice packs, which are inserted inside the ABS housing to keep the bottles cool (and absent melting ice, dry). The entire thing spins on a circular bearing in the base, letting your guests pick their poison.

Small cavities on either side serve as handles, allowing you to carry the thing into the living room, keeping your guests out of the kitchen as they steadily drink themselves out of control.

And it's even got a lampshade-like shape, so sometime around 4am someone will feel it's a good idea to place it on their head if your actual lampshades are already on hat duty.
