# Historical Figure-Inspired Wine Bottles The 'Leo Bottle' Was Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci By Ell Smith | Published 2017-11-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-bottle References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/design/alessi-da-vinci-wine-bottle-signora-eugenia-e-il-passero-solitario-11-04-2017/) & [alessi](https://www.alessi.com/it_it/) Designer Alberto Alessi debuted a trio of wine bottles dubbed, the 'Leo Bottles,' which boast a design inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci. The gorgeous glass bottles were blown with rounded bases, offering the consumer an unusually shaped container. Each bottle features an intricate design, inspired by Da Vinci's knots, a popular but difficult-to-mimic design motif. Alessi created the Leo Bottles with repurposing in mind, encouraging individuals to extend the life of the containers by using them for other applications or design purposes in the future. With a design that resembles a laboratory flask, these uniquely shaped wine vessels serve as the perfect addition to any home, or as the perfect gift for a wine aficionado.
