The limited edition bottles are described as a “reverential homage” to Gallé’s original Art Nouveau design which was inspired by Japanese art. Like Gallé, Makoto’s design springs white gold-lined anemones from a single arabesque.

“I wanted to make something extraordinary, taking inspiration from the sensation of champagne inside the mouth, and the delicate movement of the ivy and leaves with a special attention and tribute given to Emile Gallé’s anemones,” Makoto said.
