Gothic Architecture meets Cognac Bottle: The Cathedral Decanter

Ivan Venkov created a gothic cathedral inspired Cognac bottle. Wow, but why?

The object of a project by Venkov was to create a bottle for Cognac that protects the eaux-de-vie, and would be kept after drinking it. This brief was combined with the idea of gothic architecture. We thought that is quite interesting.

Once you take that “protecting” element away, seems to “slide” away, the pure bottle appears.

Cathédrale de Sées

There are quite some references to gothic buildings, just look at the Cathédrale de Sées in Normandie.

Here you see the bottle from above, with the “sliding protection element” over the bottle.

And here you see the crystal stropper from the side. Interesting project! Now, which Cognac brand could use this bottle? Hard to say.
