Overall excellent condition. This unique cooler was produced especially for the (RED) 2013 auction. The two piece cooler is in excellent condition showing only signs of very gentle handling. The cooler comprising two elements. The champagne bottle is not being shown with the cooler in the exhibition, as it is being stored in a temperature consistent environment, and will be available for collection by the buyer. The top of the bottle presents with a very minor imperfection in the glass that is inherent in the making and only visible upon close inspection. This lot is sold with a custom cardboard outer box showing minor edge wear. This work is being sold with a certificate from the (RED) 2013 auction.

Packaging is perhaps the most ephemeral of design objects; its purpose is both to contain another object and to create a sense of anticipation and excitement for what lies within. Marc originally designed a cooler for Dom Pérignon, the world's most celebrated champagne, in 2006, and Jony and Marc based this unique red cooler on that design. Made of polyurethane and brushed aluminium, it is both a sculptural and completely functional object: the insulated cooler holds ice to keep a bottle cold. But what a bottle - Richard Geoffroy, Dom Pérignon's Chef de Cave, selected a magnum of the much sought-after Œnothèque 1966 especially for the (RED) Auction, for which Dom Pérignon has created a unique red foil label.
