Veuve Clicquot, the quintessentially fabulous champagne, presents its bottles in a DesignBox that is all folds. Perhaps not that interesting in itself, but it has presented a design brief for Milan 2009 Furniture Fair asking designers to reinterpret the box, which is where the conversation becomes a little more interesting.
Designer Tom Dixon saw this brief as a “challenge”, and it is one that he has fabulously fulfilled.
Voila! “The Comet” lamp is stunning as one, and equally impressive en masse, proof that luxury lights don’t need to cost the earth!
It’s quite amazing what can be achieved by some champers, a box, together with a quick nip and a tuck!
