Hennessy and Florian Zumbrunn, the French generative artist, teamed up for a limited-edition cognac release to reimagine the brand's Hennessy X.O expression. Zumbrunn and creative agency OK C’EST COOL made the most of a series of algorithms that autonomously generated random compositions, which were then painted onto the iconic decanters with a robotic arm.
At the brand's boutique location in Cognac, France, guests are able to request specific color palettes via a tablet and have a hand in influencing the end result that the generative artist is renowned for. These exclusive, artful collector's pieces come in at €1,200 (US$1,260) per decanter, and the cost includes a print signed by the artist.
This work with Zumbrunn is one of several Hennessy-artist collaborations in 2024 that reimagine the iconic X.O Cognac.
