The perfume bottle as a work of art
Bottles & Design
The perfume bottle is an artifact of sculpture, craftsmanship and branding. From Baccarat and Lalique (Guerlain, Nina Ricci) through Bruno Munari (Etro) to Fabien Baron (Calvin Klein) — bottle design determines a perfume's cultural status as much as its contents. The craft encompasses glass, metal, wood, ceramics and, increasingly, recyclable materials.
