Michael Young
— the Hong-Kong-based British designer of practically everything — has
just designed a startling black bottle for Japanese Nikka Whisky. The
man who in addition to interiors and installations has designed
furniture for Cappellini, lighting for Artemide, barware for Schweppes,
Jewellery for Georg Jensen, polo shirts for LaCoste and bikes for
Giant, seems to be able to find new ways to express old ideas.
Nikka Whisky Co., Ltd
has made whisky since 1934 when Masataka Taketsuru returned from
Scotland where he had became the first Japanese person to learn whisky
making. Japan is now the world’s second-largest producer of single-malt
whisky. One of the most popular in Japan is the 37% Black Nikka whisky,
available at corner stores throughout Japan in tiny, medium and
enormous (as in 4 liters) bottles. Nikka is part of one of the world’s
largest beverage conglomerates, the Asahi Brewery Group. For everything about Japanese whisky, check out Nonjatta: By Tuija Seipell
