DESIGN NAME: Porto Ferreira 200YO lot
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging
INSPIRATION: This lot was marketed under the Luxury of Time concept, entirely designed by Omdesign with the aim of reflecting the new and exclusive luxury positioning that Porto Ferreira brand took its inspiration from, having the patience to wait until now to launch it on the market.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Extremely luxurious, this unique and exclusive packaging was totally handcrafted by Portuguese craftsmen, using exotic wood, silver and natural leather. It features a book inside and was auctioned by Sotheby's in the Tower of London in May 2015.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Only one person had the pleasure to open and appreciate this rarity with 5 of the most delightful Porto Ferreira Vintages.
The key that closes this packaging reinforces the exclusivity and magic of these historic Port wines.
In order to guarantee the main characteristics and quality of these wines, we produced a packaging with 5 drawers, because it is the best way to preserve them.
