Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has created a series of customized Chanel No. 5 perfume bottles by pouring foam over them.
Called Chaneldrip, the project was created for an exhibition earlier this year called 5.5 Icon meets Icons, curated by Al Sabah Art & Design.
See our previous stories about Pepe Heykoop’s Soft Oak chair and Brick chair.

oh , the original 1920 design is far too perfect to be played with ..

nope sorry. this says nothing. this shows a clear misunderstanding of Chanel. very shallow attempt at creating a new conversation. Also this foam/slime concept has been done by various designers in limited edition collections previously.
A brand with such heritage as Chanel does not deserve such naivety.

ummm.. This is from a designer? No wonder Philippe Starck is trying to distance himself from the term. Would love to hear Mr Pepe’s ‘High-brow’ justification for this waste of space! Let’s get back to the world of the Artisan – someone who has real skill and creates items that are both functional, and beautiful, this is neither.

what’s the point of creating all this?

Viktor & rolf antidote bottle came up with the same idea (a while ago) and nicely achieved.

Basically looks like a naughty kid pored wax all over his mother’s dressing table.
