Chris Bangle drafting on how the bottle will look like
Chris Bangle stated that even a 1mm difference, can change the whole concept of the bottle.
In the new Hennessy VSOP bottle, Chris Bangle has:
- accentuated the curves on the sides of the bottle, reinforcing its silhouette's dynamics
- lengthened the neck and straightened the bottles shoulders
- created an enriched base resembling a pedestral to distinguish the whole with opulence while maintaining
its stability
- the front of the bottle evokes a pyramid perspective, to draw the eyes to the top of the bottle, where the
legendary arm and axe of the Hennessy Family was engraved
- The Hennessy Vsop oval label is in dark grey ennobled with gold embossing
Other than that, an anti counterfeiting technique was applied to the Hennessy VSOP bottle where a laser stamp was applied and a hologram of inimitable complexity seal the cap, ensuring product integrity.
