Designer Philippe Starck presents the innovative L'Evolution collection with alcohol brand Mortlach. The series of a set of three whisky blends that are covered in a metallic case that has been 3D printed. Notably, this also follows the announcement that Starck would take on the role of creative director for the brand. He works with a master distiller to form the blends and created a unique case for all three bottles.
Starck shares, "The spirits we created turned out to be so innovative, that I didn't want to hide them. That is why the original bottle remains, and I just placed it in a cage. The form of the cage comes from the gyrus, the circumvolution of the brain. It is human intelligence creating human intelligence, to reveal the subconscious of the whisky. We created the most beautiful whisky, and we put it in a cage to protect it."
