LargaVida Limited Edition

LargaVida is an XO rum with the sea on its label: a sunset, a dolphin, hand-drawn lettering. For the limited edition the bottle needed a finishing piece, something you would keep after the rum was gone. We designed the stopper as a small sculpture, a speedboat cutting across a disc of waves.

The work was mostly form. The boat had to read as a boat at the size of a thumb, so the hull lines are simplified and the wake is exaggerated into a few bold ridges. We sculpted it, then rebuilt the surface into clean, even geometry so it could be produced without losing the edges, and the gallery shows that step: the wireframe, the remesh, the flow of the surface.

It is finished in gold to sit with the collar of the bottle, and lit in the final image the way spirits are photographed: a soft key, a bright rim, the amber doing the rest.
