Artist Jean-Michel Othoniel has captivated audiences with his unique aesthetic universe since the late 1980s. His dreamlike works give pride of place to materials with poetic, sensitive properties that amplify light and sublimate sensory structures until they seem to float in mid-air. His recent works explore an architectural dimension and may be found in gardens or historic sites worldwide.

INSPIRED BY THE POWER OF HENNESSY X.O

In reimagining the emblematic Hennessy X.O decanter, Jean-Michel Othoniel drew inspiration from the cognac's extra-long maturation process: it takes years for its precious eaux-de-vie to mature, as the oak barrels in which they are kept gradually facet their aromas and flavors. A testament to the way in which raw materials can be shaped by ancestral savoir-faire and time.

COLLABORATION

Glistening Treasures

Each unique piece, made of crystal gems and pieces of precious oak wood, stands like treasure. Baccarat crystals, like sparkling jewels, are a nod to emblematic seven tasting notes in Hennessy X.O.

A Work of Everyday Magic

"What I love about glass and crystal is that it brings out the magic that we all have inside us. Its beauty reconnects us to the idea of enchantment, of marvels to be found in everyday life." - Jean-Michel Othoniel
