Globalight
is an innovative and unique reinterpretation of a chandelier. For a moment… so
romantic… so rosé… so Veuve Clicquot
Created by
Karim Rashid, the limited-edition Veuve Clicquot Globalight is an invitation to
romanticism. This ultra contemporary chandelier creates a soft pink halo of
light and a dream like atmosphere wherever it goes. It transforms an intimate
candle lit dinner between partners or friends. It keeps Veuve Clicquot Rosé at
the ideal temperature for 2 hours.
You can
take Veuve Clicquot Globalight wherever you go, it glows in its surroundings
and creates a beautiful ambiance for the perfect champagne moment. Easy to
carry, Veuve Clicquot Globalight is a design jewel with pure and sensual lines.
Its brushed aluminium structure fits perfectly in modern design surroundings or
a more traditionally styled room.
Veuve
Clicquot Globalight is a state-of-the-art technology and design piece. The
highly sophisticated system provides light without warming the lamp and
transferring heat to the bottle of champagne. Zumbotel, a world expert in
lighting, has conceived and manufactured this unique and complex technology.
The pink light is the heart of this unique piece and it creates a romantic
ambiance wherever it goes.
Veuve Clicquot Rosé
The wine
has a luminous colour with an attractive pink hue. The wine works its magic -
this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously
fruity wine in early bloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a
twosome or simply with friends. Its superb rosé colour adds a daring,
contemporary and romantic touch!

“When Veuve
Clicquot asked me to design a new project for their champagne, to continue the
sensual integration of the immaterial and the material as I had done with the
Loveseat, I immediately drew an elliptical scribble around the VC rose bottle
as if to denote the intent – this is what I must do – and thought how could I
bring light and champagne together? – and suddenly realized that my scribble
was the idea in itself – ‘surround the bottle with illumination’ – embrace the
bottle with a dynamic energetic magnetism – encapsulate the bottle with warmth,
so I literally made an elliptical object and designed Globalight – like a
purse, or a handbag, the ovaloid vignettes the champagne – lights it, glorifies
it, and embraces the fabulous pleasurable experience of drinking my favorite
champagne. Salut!” Globalove, Karrim
