Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry has created a limited-edition bottle for the 150th anniversary of drinks brand Hennessy's X.O cognac, which he hopes is unlike "anything people have seen before".
The handcrafted cover, which encases the distinctive shape of the Hennessy X.O bottle, was forged from 24-carat gold-dipped bronze to evoke feelings of drinking cognac and the process by which it is made.
As well as the bottle, Gehry designed a crystal glorifier to display it and a fusil, which is used to taste a small quantity of the drink to test its quality, from brass and gold.
All of the items are packaged in a protective cardboard case that was created in homage to the corrugated-cardboard furniture that the architect designed in the 1970s.
