Both of the bottles are made to reference Asian stupas and have a domed look to hold the remains of Buddhist monks. The Range Rider bottle has a more angular build with crisp lines whereas the Purple Sage has more rounded shapes that stack on top of one another. Speaking about the designs to Dezeen, Turrell states, "I am fascinated by Egypt and by the stupa shapes found in Asia, especially in Tibet, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Burma, China and Japan [...] Their architectural structure, like that of the pyramids, makes them monuments of high spiritual value in which light plays an essential role."
