Hollywood auteur David Lynch
has hooked up with Champagne house Dom Pérignon on a limited edition design for
the 2003 vintage and the 2000 rosé. Called “The Power of Creation”, the design
was developed by Lynch, known for surrealist films such as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet
and Mulholland Drive, and special effects
expert Gary D’Amico.
The duo spent two days in a
California studio working with torches, smoke machines and light rays to come
up with the final design. Lynch is the second living artist, after Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld, to have worked directly alongside
the Champagne house.
The eccentric director has also created bespoke
designs for 10 Dom Pérignon 2000 Jeroboams and 10 Rosé 1998 Jeroboams. Known for his unconventional work such as the popular TV murder mystery drama Twin Peaks, Lynch admitted
he likes going commercial every now and then to experiment with new technology.
Lynch launched the sinister and seductive design in LA
this week with Dom Pérignon chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy. Its theatrical gift
box is tied with silk ribbons at either end, which raise the curtain on the
interior, filled with Lynchian chiaroscuro silhouettes. The limited edition Power of Creation bottles will be
available from mid-October, priced at £120 for Dom Pérignon 2000 and
£240 for the 2000 rosé.
