A sensory journey through time: past and future are eclipsed inside this bottle. TIME: SPACE vintage of the limited edition collection of The Macallan, whose launch commemorated 200 years of the brand, conquers with a complex visual language composed by the circularity of its double decanter, where the symbiosis is represented through two historical moments in the whisky distillery of the Macallan group: the infinite circularity that gives character to the outer decanter and that bottles the whisky with the longest mature; while, the second, a smaller bottle with a helix flower assembly, whose detachment from its parent base recreates a time machine.
With nearly three decades of experience in the world of luxury packaging, Nouvel perfected his glass production by taking on a project like Time: Space.
The circular glass design, clad entirely in metal and leather, was made possible thanks to the collaboration between The Macallan, Equals Design and Nouvel, which represented the harmonization between the knowledge of the distillate, innovation in design and the majesty of glass craftsmanship.
With nearly three decades of experience in the world of luxury packaging, Nouvel perfected his glass production by taking on a project like Time: Space. Perfection required solving the challenges of producing a circular bottle: the double decanter, both with their individual nozzles for pouring the liquid, had to be completed in their glass channels. Moreover, errors in the tolerance of all its components had to be eliminated for a flawless assembly between the glass, the metal casing and the leather upholstery.
The circular metaphor of The Macallan's legacy balances the becoming of time - space in the solution of a seductive bottle and the most refined expression of whisky drinking.
The openness to innovation in new techniques and creativity in solving complicated industrial processes characterize the Nouvel brand, which has succeeded in combining the assembly process with the decoration of the Time: Space bottle, ensuring a higher quality of the final product.
