HENNESSY CROWNS AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR BY WINNING THREE TOP DESIGN AWARDS FOR 250TH ANNIVERSARY BLEND’S LIMITED EDITION LUXURY DESIGN DISPLAY

In 2015, the Maison Hennessy has been honored with a trio of luxury design distinctions for the 250th anniversary blend’s limited edition luxury design display.
 
These important design prizes include the Popai Awards and the Pentawards, as well as the Prix Formes de Luxe, three honors that together comprise the leading design awards in the luxury category. The Maison Hennessy swept the three luxury design awards at ceremonies held in June, September and October 2015.
 
“To win any one of these luxury design prizes is a great honor. To take home all three in our 250th anniversary year is an amazing recognition of excellence. We are proud to continue to uphold our heritage as champions of the arts and of innovative expression through design,” said Bernard Peillon, chairman and CEO of Hennessy.
 
Designed by the Maison Hennessy’s in-house studio and produced with the support of Casanova Atelier Design in Paris, the 250th anniversary blend luxury design display symbolizes Hennessy’s rich heritage of savoir-faire. Its distinctive composition recalls the codes of craftsmanship and fine jewelry, with silver, gold and rose-colored metallic bands reprising barrel shanks rising up in varying circumferences and heights. The result is a strikingly modern and elegant sculpture in its own right, holding, at its center, a single bottle of the 250th anniversary blend.
