Future-Bound Message Capsules

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Time Capsule Holds Current Text & Videos for Future Generations

— July 10, 2015 — Lifestyle
In celebration of Hennessy's 250th anniversary, this time capsule was designed for people of today to create a message that will be stored for future generations to discover. The Hennessy Time Barrel is a unique way for Hennessy to share its rich past while celebrating its current success and promoting its future goals.

An interactive time capsule was set up for people to share advice and wisdom through a text or video. The idea was to send a message into the future of something you want your future self or the future generation to know. The messages will be stored in Hennessy’s historic cellars in Cognac for the next 50 years.

The capsule is a heartwarming initiative that solidifies Hennessy's trademark slogan: Crafting the Future. Along with the capsule, a short film was created to inspire people, fill them with emotion and simultaneously provide them with a sense of optimism for a positive outlook on what is to come.
