Hennessy XO Jean-Michel Othoniel Limited Edition

For its latest Limited Edition of Hennessy X.O, the Maison collaborated with the great master of light and glass, French contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Inspired by the notion of raw material faceted by time-honored savoir-faire and Time, the artist here revisits the emblematic Hennessy X.O decanter like a jewel in the rough.

Artist Jean-Michel Othoniel has captivated audiences with his unique aesthetic universe since the late 1980s. His dreamlike works give pride of place to materials with poetic, sensitive properties that amplify light and sublimate sensory structures until they seem to float in mid-air. His recent works explore an architectural dimension and may be found in gardens or historic sites worldwide.

In reimagining the emblematic Hennessy X.O decanter, Jean-Michel Othoniel drew inspiration from the cognac's extra-long maturation process: it takes years for its precious eaux-de-vie to mature, as the oak barrels in which they are kept gradually facet their aromas and flavors. A testament to the way in which raw materials can be shaped by ancestral savoir-faire and time.

"What I love about glass and crystal is that it brings out the magic that we all have inside us. Its beauty reconnects us to the idea of enchantment, of marvels to be found in everyday life." - Jean-Michel Othoniel

A rare master of color and crystal, Jean-Michel Othoniel is a sculptor of light, a constant theme in his work. For Hennessy X.O he brings his art to elevating the captivating hues of cognac.
