Hennessy X.O Exclusive Collection by Tom Dixon

To imagine the new Hennessy X.O bottle’s design, the UK’s Tom Dixon started with the illustrious cognac’s very essence. From this nectar, composed of more than 100 eaux-de-vie, the artist extracts a coppery robe who’s facets outline the crystal frame. A downpour of chiseling forms a mosaic with multiple light reflections, reifying the Cognac’s generosity. Imagined by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends, Hennessy X.O is today introducing a new aesthetic for their bottle: robust, unique, and resolutely contemporary.

For this visual homage, the traditional bottle is wrapped up in a coat that’s as powerful as the Cognac it holds within. To create it, Tom Dixon used a very on-point technology: the process of tessellation. “The Hennessy X.O bottle is a timeless object that I wanted to approach in an original and modern way,” explains Dixon. A collector’s item in and of itself.
