Veuve Clicquot Le Grande Dame 2015 with Paola Paronetto
La Grande Dame 2015, true to its heritage, maintains the precision and elegance of a great vintage. Madame Clicquot's fondness for Pinot Noir is reflected in the blend, with Pinot Noir constituting over 90% of the cuvée. The grape's versatility is demonstrated in its terroir-specific expressions and its complexity.
This year, for the 2015 vintage, Veuve Clicquot has chosen to work with the Italian designer Paola Paronetto. Known for her mastery of colour, Paronetto has designed a limited edition of six gift boxes for Maison Veuve Clicquot in hues from her personal palette of over 86 shades.
“We're delighted to continue the story of La Grande Dame, our exceptional wine, which embodies the House's excellence as well as our love of Pinot Noir. For this new vintage, we are honoured to collaborate with the Italian artist Paola Paronetto. Her work once again instils a profound message of optimism,” shared Jean-Marc Gallot, President and CEO of Veuve Clicquot.
In addition to the gift boxes, Paronetto has created a limited sculptural work titled “Giganti”, composed of three coloured sculptures in the form of standing bottles. They symbolize the interplay of nature and materials in a tangible, poetic form. The silhouettes of the Giganti bottles, despite their seeming fragility, echo the precision and verticality of La Grande Dame cuvées, much like the careful balance maintained in winemaking.

Laura Itkonen – Sculptural Series
Laura Itkonen works at the intersection of art and design to create bold pieces with a surprising mixture of materials, textures, shapes and colours. Itkonen describes her Sculptural Series as “art with function”. The lidded vessels mostly have a matte surface and are made with food-safe glazing on the inside while the decoration on top is handmade.
The artist makes most of the porcelain she uses herself and sources the majority of her materials in Finland.
Design of the 20th Century
With mass industrialization and the rise of the importance of the designer (in place of the artist and craftsman of the centuries before), the twentieth century saw some of the most revolutionary and decisive moments in the modern age of design.
Arguably, it was the first age of design, and this Bibliotheca Universalis edition from Taschen which features the 20th century’s key movements, moments, and trends is the essential compendium for design aficionados and casual browsers alike. The book features key works from De Stijl, Charles and Ray Eames, Philippe Stark, and Dieter Rams.
