Dom Pérignon commissioned the Design Laboratory at London-based Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design to reinterpret its timeless bottle with tribute to the late creative genius Andy Warhol. The use of his unconventional representation of icons and splash of colours, has resulted in a unique collection of three bottles. Each bottle has its distinct label in red, blue or yellow, paying homage to Warhol’s iconic style.

Ironically, an entry from Andy Warhol’s diary on 8 March 1981 read:
“Went to the gallery where they were having a little exhibition of the glittery Shoes, and had to do interviews and pics for the German newspaper and then we had to go back to the hotel and be picked up by the “2,000” people – it’s a club of twenty guys who got together and they’re going to buy 2,000 bottles of Dom Pérignon which they will put in a sealed room until the year 2000 and then open it up and drink it and so the running joke is who will be around and who won’t…”

Perhaps one should lock these bottles up for a decade or two with the same running joke?

The collection will carry the Vintage 2002 Dom Pérignon champagne and these limited edition bottles will be available to the public in the US starting 15 October 2010. No doubt these will make treasured collector’s items and the boxes most likely plastered as wall art! In the meantime, check out this video.
