Rémy Martin announces an extraordinary partnership with world-renowned contemporary artist Anish Kapoor. The result is a limited edition XO decanter and an exclusive art piece, celebrating the essence of Rémy Martin XO through a visionary exploration of color, form, and space.
This collaboration reflects the shared pursuit of excellence between the iconic Cognac house and the celebrated artist, merging ancestral craftsmanship with avant-garde creativity.
A Personal Connection, A Global Vision
Kapoor’s involvement was inspired by personal memory:
“From the very beginning, it struck a deep personal chord—my father used to drink Rémy Martin when I was a boy in India.” – Anish Kapoor
This connection makes the collaboration both intimate and authentic, embodying the heritage of Rémy Martin, a house founded over 300 years ago, where savoir-faire is passed from generation to generation.
A Decanter Designed as a Portal
Kapoor reimagined the iconic XO decanter as a minimalist sculpture with a hollow center and glowing amber tones. The design amplifies the liquid’s brilliance, capturing infinite reflections—a metaphor for the boundless possibilities of art and spirit.
Crafted using the original mold, the bottle features a copper neck and stopper, transforming it into a true collector’s item. The sleek contrast of its reflective face and sculptural back evokes the iconic aesthetic of Kapoor’s mirror installations.
“I worked closely with the designers and simplified the form to make the presence of the Cognac felt within the design,” – Anish Kapoor
The Art of Cognac, Captured in a Sculpture
Alongside the decanter, Kapoor created an exclusive artwork that echoes the deep, radiant tones of Rémy Martin XO. Part of his painted mirror series, this large concave piece draws on the hundreds of amber hues found in the eaux-de-vie that make up XO.
As light shifts across the work’s hollow surface, colors transform and ripple, creating an immersive experience that parallels the tasting journey of XO itself.
