The world-renowned architect pays homage to the odyssey of the ‘Extra Old’ cognac with a 150th Anniversary Masterpiece. 

 
Frank Gehry: 6 decades of architecture

Frank Gehry has built an illustrious architectural career that has spanned over six decades. His public and private work throughout the world including the Bilbao Guggenheim, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Hong Kong’s Opus Tower, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris—is designed with a shared clear-cut philosophy that people must exist comfortably within his spaces and an insistence that his buildings address the context and culture of their sites.

His work

Gehry’s notable current projects include the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Toronto’s King Street Development, 8150 Sunset in Los Angeles, the World Jewish Museum in Tel Aviv, and the Los Angeles River revitalization project. His projects under construction include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a new center for the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), and the Dwight D.
Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Hennessy X.O 150th anniversary Masterpiece is Gehry’s first project with Hennessy.

His inspiration

"Creativity is at first curiosity. Creative ideas comes from being curious about the subject, asking questions and discovering along the way, not being afraid to try new things. When I design , I try new things, I make multiple designs and models until I land on the final product that feels just right." 


HENNESSY X.O X FRANK GEHRY: A common vision of a hopeful new world 

Frank Gehry has created the Hennessy X.O masterpiece with the same philosophy, passion, and curiosity as he does when designing his architectural masterpieces. Just as he always respects the surrounding environment of his work, Frank Gehry deeply considered the rich customs, composition, and art of distillation of the storied Hennessy X.O Cognac, as well as taking into account the savoir faire heritage of the Hennessy Maison.

A sensorial masterpiece

Drawing inspiration from the rich Hennessy X.O blend, and the vital soil, twisting vines, and the glistening Charente River that runs through the Hennessy Maison, Frank Gehry has created a true sensorial masterpiece. The iconic Hennessy X.O bottle is enveloped in a crinkled sleeve of 24 carat gold-dipped bronze, evoking the radiant movement of water as it reflects the light. The sculptural decanter is encased by a fractured glass glorifier, which further amplifies the inspiration of water and light.

Hennessy X.O X Frank Gehry Limited Edition

In the celebration of its 150 anniversary, Hennessy X.O presents a limited edition designed by Frank Gehry.
This new giftbox is a great synthesis of Frank Gehry’s inspirations: the Charente river movement, the force of the nature and the richness of the Hennessy X.O blend. 
The golden carafe embodies Frank Gehry’s main theme in art: the reflection of light. The box also reveals the carafe’s iconic silhouette by transparency. 
A perfect gift for Hennessy X.O lovers and art enthusiasts!
