The architect created the [Baccarat crystal bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/505-edition-branson) with angular external shapes that surround a [curved internal form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-glass-bottles). The shape is reminiscent of traditional cognac bottles and was created to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past by recalling parts of history. Libeskind explains that he is "inspired by the interplay of history and the future -- a particular magic happens when the two come together." The project aims to honor the history of Richard Hennessy's work while elevating it to new heights. Overall, the bottle is a tribute to Hennessy's character; the soft curved shape within the crystalline form echoes his spirit.
