French term or phrase: écrin flottant
Hi there,
I'm translating a magazine article about a restaurant, and in the text the wine cellar, well the wine selection is in a sort of glass case, the French text says:

"Enfin, pour parfaire votre dîner, vous pourrez goûter à l’un des 500 crus du lieu, tous exposés dans un écrin flottant tout à fait surprenant, sis au cœur du restaurant"

Is this like "parquet flottant" two-layer or something like that?

Thank you

» Floor Ceiling Mount Wine Racks - General Info


NO WALL MOUNTING REQUIRED!!!

Floor-Ceiling units were created specifically for cellars or racking installations where it is impractical to attach wine rack to the walls, most frequently adjacent to glass - but also beautiful as a free-standing display. The FCF racking system is not fastened to the wall, it is mounted to the floor and ceiling and adjusted to your ceiling height.
