As a continuation of its ‘Every Drink is an Exceptional Experience’ campaign in light of TBWZ\Chiat\Day, the French alcoholic spirit brand brings poised personality to intersections around Chicago. With classic armchairs designed to match the scheme of each refuge, these Absolut Vodka bus shelters advertise different lines of beverages, including Twist, Lemon Drop and Bloody drinks. Each with a common color scheme and photographed by Amanda De Cadenet and Ellen Von Unwerth, the transit stops are further embellished by [hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler) beauties like Ali Larter, Zooey Deschanel and Kate Beckinsale.
