Selectism reports about the latest limited-edition from ABSOLUT – a collaboration with one of the UK’s leading graphic artists, Jamie Hewlett of the multi-award winning Gorillaz. ABSOLUT LONDON celebrates the vibrant cultural city, capturing London’s creativity and rich style heritage in a unique bottle design.

Designed by London creative and visionary Jamie Hewlett, the bottle is a unique take on London’s style and fashion pioneers over the past 200 years. Set against a London backdrop, the bottle introduces key characters from the past who have influenced and shaped London’s present fashion scene. The seven characters encapsulate the city’s diverse heritage, spanning the ages from Dickensian and 18th Century Dandy, through to Pinstripe gent, 60’s chick, SKA , Punk and 80’s Casual.

ABSOLUT London will be launching in-store on 1st March in Selfridges and Harvey Nichols and then to general retailers from 1st April.

Completed by designers Rosan Bosch and Rune Fjord in 2010, the open-plan LEGO PMD office in Billund, Denmark incorporates block-like display stands, model-building tables and a library of Lego pieces to create a playful working environment where fun and creativity reign supreme. The idea is that through the physical design, the children’s fantasy worlds – where imagination reigns free – become part of the everyday, creating the optimal space to create new toys for LEGO fans around the world.

Have a look through our gallery for an idea of what it’s like to work at LEGO in Denmark. Unreal!

For the seventh consecutive year, Coca-Cola has a new edition of the bottle dedicated to the world of the night: the now famous Club Coke. In 2012, the musical artist David Guetta has been entrusted the design of this collector bottle.

The result is a “David Guetta Coca-Cola” aluminum bottle, in classic red and many photo-luminescent details that will allow the bottle to live day and especially at night. We were bigger fans of previous Club Coke collaborations with Mika and Justice & So-Me, but Guetta fans will certainly be into it. The bottle is now in stock at colette.

In an interesting new project Italian illustrator Anna Utopia Giordano remixes known alcohol brand bottles with iconic toy brands. The result is Barbie Vodka, Lego Rum, Fisher Price Whiskey, Nintendo Gin, Disney Champaign and Marvel Martini.
