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.

Here's some more information from Pepe Heykoop:

Chaneldrip is a serie customized Chanel nr 05 perfume bottles, commisioned by Majed Al Sabah.
Exibition: 5.5 Icon meets Icons, Al Sabah Art & Design , Kuwait.
The bottles 'wear' a coat dripped with foam.
They result from Animaldrip.
oh , the original 1920 design is far too perfect to be played with ..
non , non , non .
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.
non non non….je suis désolé…mais non.
what’s the point of creating all this?
Viktor & rolf antidote bottle came up with the same idea (a while ago) and nicely achieved.
its like that famous conversation on modern art:
observer 1: hey, i could do that…
observer 2: yeah but you didn’t!
Dear Dezeen,
Beautifull how fanatic people can be!!!
And happens to be, I’m very fanatic as well…
My vote goes to “Studio Makkink&Bey”

Basically looks like a naughty kid pored wax all over his mother’s dressing table.
yeah a naughty kid that plays with wax. thats pretty common. now i understand this project. gee that designer sure is intelligent
guys, its an art, irrational, nonuderstandable, stupid, it’s not a design, so don’t care ;)
I really like this, its so beautiful
I like it too! Its such a contrast to what Chanel stands for..
