The Small Discoveries collection was launched in December 2014 at the influential global forum, Design Miami/ through the opening master work, ‘ephemerā’. The Blason Rosé coffret offers an exclusive experience to sample the charm of Small Discoveries, and enjoy a delicious glass of the floral, diamond-cut champagne. Launching for Valentine’s Day 2015, this limited edition collectors’ piece offers champagne connoisseurs a moment of discovery and surprise. Showcased within a beautiful gift box nestles a bottle of Perrier-Jouët’s Blason Rosé cuvée and two champagne flutes decorated with a flight of winged insects, emblematic of Small Discoveries. Once filled, these elegant flutes reveal their dazzling secret: a winged insect engraved on the inside of the glass creates a visual point that encourages effervescence. The delicate engraving means the champagne bubbles cluster at the design, and spiral upwards through the length of the wine like an optical game. The effect is tantalising, and offers an element of surprise and intrigue. This interior decorative etching is a world-first in terms of flute design for Perrier-Jouёt. mischer’traxler researched the science of effervescence, working closely with glass engravers and Perrier-Jouët’s cellar master to ensure this tiny artistic detail brings a visual delicate twist of the bubbles. To illustrate this surprising, innovative flute design, mischer’traxler bedecked the delicate presentation box with perforated bubbles and cut- out moths. Beautiful embossed illustrations of various ephemeral insects are captured mid-flight across the box. For curious connoisseurs, mischer’traxler has included a reference about the insects’ genealogy on the back of the box. The packaging is ornamented with a green ribbon, emblematic of Perrier-Jouët’s House, which acts as a handle. Perfect for celebratory occasions or offering as a token of love, the Small Discoveries Blason Rosé coffret is the perfect accompaniment to Valentine’s Day or other romantic occasions. “It has been a wonderful experience to work with Perrier-Jouët on Ephemerā and the limited edition coffret. We worked a lot to bring surprise and discovery into the creations and Perrier-Jouët has allowed us to push boundaries to create something which is truly magical” mischer’traxler “At Perrier-Jouët, we are eternally inspired by the Art Nouveau ethos of infusing art in the everyday experience, whilst valuing craftsmanship and the natural world. These beautiful flutes represent our innate philosophy perfectly and complement the element of surprise and ephemerality of nature, which Small Discoveries represents. We chose Katharina and Thomas for this residency as we felt their integrity and thought-provoking work captured the very essence of Perrier-Jouët with their own unique interpretation.” Axelle de Buffévent, Style Director for Perrier-Jouët.
