Kim Jones pays singular tribute to two processes that call for an understanding of science, nature, and know-how in the Hennessy X.O. Limited Edition bottle design. Enclosed in an aluminum "second skin," the bottle remains faithful to the emblematic shape of the Hennessy X.O. decanter, highlighting its characteristic curves and shape. This structure embodies the fusion between creation and heritage of the House of Hennessy. Kim Jones, known for his contemporary yet minimalist approach, has infused his sportswear and graphic vision into the new Hennessy X.O. decanter. After visiting Cognac and Hennessy's vineyards, Kaki recorded her experiences in a song text. Likewise, their insights into the knowledge that goes into the production of Hennessy Cognac. The finished song has 200 beats. Each stroke for a year from Hennessy's savoir-faire. The illustrator Giorgia took these song notes and pressed them together as if she were pressing Ugni Blanc grapes for eaux-de-vie. Senior Vice President of Hennessy USA, Rodney Williams, said of the creation, “Peter Saville’s creation is an innovative and beautiful nod to the storied history of the Hennessy VSOP Privilege blend.” “… originally created for King George IV, what’s striking is how Peter has taken this historical blend – the world’s first VSOP – and masterfully created a contemporary design that still symbolizes its elevated pedigree”. Famous for his work on the New York underground system in the 1970s, this legendary street artist was invited to Hennessy’s headquarters in Cognac to learn about the ethos of the company before creating a bright, funky, 21st-century bottle for this VS cognac.

The brand is owned by Moët Hennessy since a champagne & cognac merger in the early seventies, which is in turn owned by LVMH (66%) and Diageo (34%), Diageo acting as a non-controlling shareholder. [6] Hennessy pioneered several industry-standard practices in the world of cognac, and its association with luxury has made it a regular point of reference in popular culture, especially in hip hop. In a world that’s developing a true penchant for the small and the artisan, it can be tough for a world leader to compete. After all, creating cognac by volume calls for a very different production method to that of the craft creator. However, Hennessy has certainly risen to the challenge with its Master Blender’s series. Dixon had worked with Hennessy on releases of a similar design in the previous two years, producing platinum silver and deep copper versions of the bottle design. However, this third installment of the three-year collaboration is a dazzling gold rendition of the iconic XO carafe. Hennessy invited tattoo icon, Scott Campbell, to design this limited edition in its VS artist series.Interestingly, Felipe Pantone has managed to achieve his fame without ever publicly revealing his face. Clever use of positioning, props, goggles and masks in his publicity shots have added to his mystery (although perhaps not quite on the same level as Banksy). However, it’s a great self-marketing ploy, and one that’s been continued in the promotion of this limited edition. What makes the VSOP even more exclusive is the unique look of the bottle. Maeda’s work with his colleagues is a self-explanatory example of how art encroaches on technology. At the same time, the boundaries between the two areas are blurring: John's creative spirit is combined with Giorgia's detailed illustrations and Kaki's musical ability to let a visual keyboard blossom.

Peter Saville has become an icon due to his legendary artistic vision and desire to push boundaries through his work. For the 2015 Hennessy VSOP Privilege limited edition, Saville explored chromatography to draw attention to individual components of a complex across the color spectrum. With his technique of data visualization, his Hennessy design reveals an architectural, emotionally resonant imagery of color, contrast, finish and texture. Fields, words: Jessica (2022-02-21).

And such a tour would not have been complete without displays from some of the artists who’ve collaborated with Hennessy over the years to create Limited Edition bottles. These included Shepherd Fairey, Os Gemeos, Futura, Othoniel, Arik Levy and Tom Dixon.The Hennessy Tom Dixon XO Exclusive Collection is a unique and contemporary interpretation of the traditional XO carafe, with a visual tribute to the 100+ eaux-de-vie that go into creating the cognac. Of course, such a work of art deserves a decanter of splendid proportions, and this certainly doesn’t disappoint. Created from Baccarat crystal, the Beauté du Siècle decanter is in the form of the sample flasks used by the cognac house. This carafe is presented in an up-to-date take of a traditional liqueur chest. The complete work of art is the finished masterpiece of over ten craftsmen and artists. Marc Newson said of the design: “For me, the straight lines really highlight the strength of the iconic shape of the Hennessy X.O decanter. When they catch the light, they magnify the blend – its color and sensorial qualities.”
