Hennessy asked us to create a 200th-anniversary limited-edition design for their iconic V.S.O.P Privilège. TWO CENTURIES had passed since the style we know as ‘Very Superior Old Pale’ was born. It was time to mark this historic occasion with a landmark edition.
We created a design that looks bravely to the next 200 years, whilst paying respect to the last 200. The design weaves together FUTURIST aesthetics, timeless materials and HERITAGE craft. And was a huge sales success, selling out within months of launch.
