For his fourth collaboration with Dom Pérignon, design star Marc Newson has created a luxurious case called the Black Box. Designed to hold a bottle of Dom Pérignon, this travel-friendly case melds technical prowess and innovative design.
A modern-day globetrotter, Marc Newson delved into his distinctive style to create a nomadic and very functional object.
Carried with a stylish strap handle, the Black Box is made of polycarbonate, a durable, modern material that insulates the bottle to keep it at the ideal temperature.
The sleek avant-garde design is emblematic of the “cool luxury lifestyle” espoused by Marc Newson. The two-sided mold retains and flatters the iconic silhouette of the Dom Pérignon bottle.
The meeting of the designer and the Champagne House continues in a viral film entitled “Travel with Marc Newson”.
A long-time fan of Dom Pérignon champagne, the designer invites viewers to discover his favorite places in five global cities—Tokyo, Paris, London, New York and Milan—and talks about his collaboration with Dom Pérignon.
Circulated through online communities, social networks and blogs, the viral film underlines the strong ties between Marc Newson and Dom Pérignon and offers a fitting tribute to a creative talent who continues to revisit the House’s heritage with an avant-garde vision.
