Howard Kaplan Designs makes gorgeous pot racks, and perhaps their "Europa" model may even be the one that Mike De Giulio used. You should at least check them out - maybe it's not out of your price range. The price must depend on what size you get, whether you include lights or not, etc. so it's worth checking. I'll link below.

Also check out the pot racks by Enclume. They are sold at Sur La Table, and other stores, and online. They will be more reasonably priced than Howard Kaplan, especially if you shop on the 'net.

I wanted a pot rack, but the glamorous Mike De Giulio look in my mind and the reality didn't jibe. You need to have tall ceilings, otherwise you'll have have to peer through hanging pots. Also, my pots are much-used and can look gnarly, and I wouldn't have the gorgeous gleaming look of my dreams. Just wanted to give you a head's up in case you hadn't thought about those points.

Another idea is a wall-mounted pot rack rather than hanging from the ceiling. I'll provide a link for that too.

Thread about Wall-Mounted Pot Rack

What akchicago said -- have had an Enclume for years and it is staying in the remodel. But it's true-- if you hang it at a height where the pots are low enough to easily take them off and lift them back on, you may have some of them in your face. So naturally it works best for smaller pots and pans. But often used trivets and pitchers -- great for that too. It is so handy I could not give it up. Yes you have to keep your pots and pans really clean-- but "that's a good thing."

Thank you so much for the information! The Howard Kaplan racks look very similar. I wonder if they have the Enclume racks in-store. I'll have to swing by Sur La Table. The height info is helpful too. We have 9' ceilings, but I guess it would depend on the individual rack as to whether or not it's a good fit for the room.

Green Zebra,

We too love that style of pot rack, but we require a single rod over the perimeter counter beside the range rather than a rectangle or oval shape. Failing to find a ready-made option, we are commissioning our rack from a local (Greater Toronto Area in Canada) metal fabricator to our exact specifications. We have specified stainless tube stock and nickel-plated fittings (ball end caps and ceiling flanges). We are also going to have a bar-style footrail installed at our island. Here is a photo taken at the metal fabricators showroom, showing some of the fittings and finishes they offer:

I'm sure you're aware of the very heavy load the pot rack will carry. We added support members to the ceiling when we framed the kitchen for hanging the rack.
