Piper-Heidsieck

Piper-Heidsieck requested an object that would both be utilitarian and elegant, able to capture their "Extravaganza" spirit, the word they use to describe the brand's personality, a combination between sophistication and creativity. Jaime Hayon's fantasy was the sort of input they wanted. The project, a mix of past and future, was the result of this collaboration. The Seau and Vasque, champagne containers, were released in late 2006.
