Art Nouveau and Champagne

Art Nouveau and Champagne

I've always been a big fan of the Art Nouveau movement, so when I got an opportunity to design some displays for Domaine Ste Michelle sparkling wines some years ago, I was thrilled.  These concepts were especially challenging because the lines and shapes which define Art Nouveau have to look as if they were sculpted by hand, but engineering sculptured forms would have been prohibitively expensive.  I chose to stick with tubing and wire to evoke the feeling while keeping the complexity to a minimum and leveraging the printed graphics as much as possible.  A verdigris powder coat provided a finishing touch.  These are some of my favorites.
