The “Richard Hennessy” cognac decanter, named after the founder of the Hennessy spirits house, has been given a new design by the architect Daniel Libeskind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After Frank Gehry<\/strong><\/a>, it’s architect Daniel Libeskind<\/strong>‘s turn to share his design vision for a Hennessy decanter. His mission ? To transform the “Richard Hennessy<\/strong><\/em>” cognac bottle into a tribute to the founder of the famous spirits house. The bottle, made of Baccarat<\/strong> crystal, features an angular outer shape surrounding a curved inner shape reminiscent of a traditional cognac bottle.<\/p>\n

“The inspiration for the decanter came from the powerful Richard Hennessy emblem and the symbol of the brand’s future<\/em>,” the architect explains. “I wanted to honor the history while elevating it<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By combining curved and angular forms, Libeskind wanted to express the tradition of Hennessy, founded by Richard Hennessy in 1765<\/strong>. “The juxtaposition of the organic curves with the bold geometric shape of the silhouette gives a new energy and complexity to the liquid inside. (…) The result was to insert the soft, curved shape into the crystalline form that echoes the spirit of Richard Hennessy<\/em>” .<\/p>\n

Daniel Libeskind is a renowned architect and has designed buildings around the world, including the Jewish Museum in Berlin<\/strong> and the master plan for the World Trade Center<\/strong> site in New York. He compared the bottle design process to that of architectural design. “It’s a pretty organic process, but it always starts with a spark of inspiration – an idea, a place or even a feeling – and then turns into a flame of possibilities! The decanter was developed over many years – like a city plan or a large-scale cathedral<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
