In a radiant fusion of art and luxury, British-Nigerian artist Yinka Ilori and Maison Courvoisier, the esteemed Cognac House, have unveiled a limited-edition bottle design. As the brand's 'Ambassador of Joy' , Ilori drew inspiration from the picturesque allure of Jarnac, France, translating the essence of a sun-kissed summer day into an exquisite Courvoisier VSOP bottle design.

This masterpiece, adorned with four ombrΓ© colours, takes centre stage at Selfridges London's Wonder Room, where there is a brand-new popup to celebrate the venture. The Wonder Room at Selfridges London has undergone a transformation, showcasing Ilori's vibrant palette alongside the limited-edition Courvoisier VSOP bottles. Visitors are invited not only to admire the visual splendour of the bottles but also to indulge in a trio of bespoke Courvoisier VSOP cognac cocktails, thoughtfully crafted to complement the nuanced flavours of the spirit. These cocktails are accompanied by unique marshmallows from The Marshmallowist that perfectly complement the cocktails.
