Extending the classic style of the brand Veuve Clicquot this premium limited edition showcase, combines beauty with function. Designed by Porche Design and at $70,000 a pop, it may be a little out of us lowly designers range. At least the champagne gives us a taste of this classic style.

Measuring over six feet tall Vertical Limit holds 12 magnums of Clicquot’s most prized vintages and only 15 were made worldwide. Each Vertical Limit is fully handmade and each of the 12 vintages are housed in its own compartment with the temperature set at a constant 12 degrees celsius—ideal for tasting and the same climate as the Veuve Clicquot cellars in Reims, France.

“We wanted to create a product to match the ultra high-end superiority of the Veuve Clicquot brand, so we tried to emphasize the importance of each bottle. We thought that each bottle should have its own stage essentially. This is why we gave each bottle its own door coupled with the classic Veuve Clicquot yellow as a light. We did this so each bottle received the attention it deserves, rather than opening one door to a collection of bottles. In making a superior looking product we also decided to make the Vertical Limit a tall object”.
