In a world where craftsmanship meets artistry, where nature dances with technology, the collaboration between the legendary champagne house Dom Pérignon and visionary designer Mathias Bengtsson offers an extraordinary expression of both. Together, they unveil a stunning creation— a singular sculpture that transcends mere art, symbolizing a profound dialogue between the raw materials of nature and the innovative processes of human creation.
A New Creative Dialogue: Elevating Nature’s Beauty
At the heart of this collaboration lies a shared philosophy, one rooted in the reverence of nature’s elegance and complexity. Dom Pérignon’s commitment to harmony—an emotion-filled pursuit driven by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon—aligns with Bengtsson’s deep belief in shaping nature, blending the organic with the technological.
The creative synergy between Dom Pérignon and Mathias Bengtsson is grounded in a shared vision: the elevation of natural forms through human ingenuity. As Chaperon continuously engages with the dynamic forces of nature, crafting champagne that is both timeless and evolving, Bengtsson brings his own unique approach. For this project, he sought to embody the relationship between nature, technology, and the art of creation, drawing inspiration from the Champagne house’s revered vintages.
The Sculpture: A Living Organic Form
The collaboration has given birth to a truly unique sculpture, one that intertwines the essence of Dom Pérignon’s celebrated vintages with the imaginative spirit of Bengtsson’s design. Crafted around two exceptional magnums, the sculptures are not mere objects—they are living forms, captured in their growth, mirroring the vine’s own life cycle.
The Dom Pérignon x Mathias Bengtsson Sculpture encapsulates the spirit of two extraordinary vintages: the Dom Pérignon Vintage 1999 Plénitude 2 and the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2000 Plénitude 2 Rosé. The sculptures, made in two striking finishes—gold and rose gold—serve as metaphors for the dynamic tension between nature’s unpredictability and the precision of human craftsmanship.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 1999 Plénitude 2
Born from a year of contrasts—marked by unpredictable weather—this vintage strikes a remarkable balance. On the nose, it unveils a complex, almost chiaroscuro-like quality, while the palate delivers a joyful burst of fruit, followed by a rich umami body and a tactile finish of saline and toasted notes. The gold sculpture cradles this vintage in all its complexity, elevating the experience to new heights.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2000 Plénitude 2 Rosé
The Vintage 2000 Plénitude 2 Rosé comes from a tumultuous year that ultimately yielded stunning fruit. With a nose that balances warmth and coolness, this vintage offers a striking duality. On the palate, it surprises with a round mouthfeel, giving way to a finish that tightens and relaxes in perfect harmony. The rose gold sculpture represents this vintage’s delicate interplay of elements, capturing the beauty of tension and balance.
The Art of Bio-Mimicry: Sculpting with Digital Seeds
What truly sets this collaboration apart is the innovative use of bio-mimicry—a cutting-edge process that draws inspiration from the natural world. Bengtsson’s sculpture is not merely created; it grows. Using “digital seeds,” a futuristic technique inspired by nature’s growth patterns, the sculpture emerges organically, shaped by the random interplay of digital forces. Just as the vine is shaped by the whims of the weather, these sculptures evolve through a series of digital and environmental conditions, mimicking nature’s unpredictable yet perfect process of creation. The result is a form that feels alive—like the vine wrapped around the bottle, it seems to stretch and grow, making the piece a living testament to the evolution of both nature and technology. As the sculpture climbs and curves around the magnum bottles, it evokes the idea of growth in motion, a moment frozen in time, ripe for contemplation.
A Limited Edition of Exquisite Craftsmanship
To commemorate this extraordinary partnership, Dom Pérignon and Mathias Bengtsson have created a limited number of these breathtaking sculptures, each one a numbered edition that underscores the rarity and exclusivity of the piece.
- Gold Sculpture: Featuring Dom Pérignon Vintage 1999 Plénitude 2, only 60 numbered editions will be produced, symbolizing the pinnacle of refinement and craftsmanship.
- Rose Gold Sculpture: For those seeking an even rarer treasure, only 20 numbered editions will be made, each one imbued with the elegance of the Vintage 2000 Plénitude 2 Rosé.
These sculptures are not just objects—they are a celebration of the delicate balance between nature and technology, art and craftsmanship. They are works of art that invite their owners into a world where the complexities of nature are not only revered but also reimagined in extraordinary, sculptural form.
A True Convergence of Art and Luxury
In this collaboration, Dom Pérignon and Mathias Bengtsson offer more than just an artistic piece. They offer an experience—an invitation to embrace the intersection of nature, technology, and human creativity. These sculptures stand as timeless works of art, elevating the very essence of Dom Pérignon while reinterpreting the beauty and complexity of the natural world through the lens of innovation. For those who understand that true luxury lies in the mastery of craft, in the alchemy of artistry, and in the rare confluence of nature and technology, the Dom Pérignon x Mathias Bengtsson Sculpture is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of this groundbreaking collaboration—a symbol of elegance, innovation, and the eternal pursuit of perfection.
