Sono (I am) Inspired
Sono Inspired began with a spark — an unexpected “I’ve got it” moment — that transformed a simple gift into a meaningful purpose. When the founders received a set of retired Napa Valley barrels, they saw more than weathered wood and steel. They saw history. Craft. Legacy. And the opportunity to give these storied barrels a second life.
What started as a creative experiment quickly grew into a passion for deconstructing and reimagining wine and whiskey barrels into distinctive, handcrafted home goods. Each piece carries the character of the barrel it came from — the curve of the staves, the warmth of the oak, the marks left by years of aging some of the world’s finest wines and spirits.
Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition
Every Sono Inspired product is handmade with intention. Our barrels are crafted from premium white oak sourced from France, Austria, and the American heartlands — regions known for exceptional cooperage. Once retired, these barrels come to our workshop in rural Arkansas, where skilled hands carefully transform them into functional, heirloom‑quality pieces.
The process is labor‑intensive and deeply personal. From dismantling each barrel to shaping, sanding, and finishing every board, our team honors the craftsmanship that went into the original barrel. We use eco‑friendly finishing methods and sustainable practices to ensure each piece is as responsible as it is beautiful.
Designs That Tell a Story
Our collection includes wine racks, charcuterie boards, trays, lazy Susans, and other home and business accessories — all created from authentic reclaimed barrels. The blend of rustic wood and steel bands gives each piece a modern yet timeless appeal, making them ideal for retailers seeking products with character, authenticity, and a story customers connect with.
American‑Made. Family‑Driven. Sustainably Crafted.
Sono Inspired is proudly rooted in small‑town Arkansas, where family values, hard work, and American manufacturing still matter. We honor centuries‑old cooperage traditions while creating something new — products that enrich homes, tasting rooms, restaurants, and retail spaces with meaning and craftsmanship.
Our mission is simple:
Transform reclaimed barrels into handcrafted goods that inspire, endure, and tell a story worth sharing.
At the heart of it all, our roots and values shape every piece we create.
Wood and steel. Barrels and bands. We come from dirt roads, work boots, big dreams, and rural roots — the kind of place where craftsmanship still matters and American‑made goods mean something.
Sono Inspired is a small‑town, family‑driven story. Together with friends and coworkers, we strive for excellence in every piece we create. Our work honors the age‑old craft of cooperage and the artisans who perfected it over generations.
Every product we make gives you the chance to hold a piece of authentic legacy — reclaimed, reimagined, and handcrafted with purpose.
