Metaxa Grand Fine 80

METAXA Grande Fine is as a unique aesthetic proposal that pays tribute to Greece, its culture craftsmanship, art and inspirational way of living. This second Collectors Edition is presented in a porcelain bottle design by Cacao Rocks, a Greek street artist who has developed his own distinctive and vibrant creative style, using Greek symbols and folklore in a modern and contemporary way. I had the honor of being asked by the House of Metaxa to design one of their iconic decanters. Inspired by my grandfather, I wanted to follow his path, re-visit the Cyclades and take pictures of their typical landscapes. This is how I created the new METAXA Grande Fine design, my own interpretation of Cycladic architecture, a tribute to my grandfather, says Cacao Rocks. The decanter is decorated with patterns inspired by the windmills of Mykonos and other Cycladic symbols, using the artists color palette: white for the Cycladic architecture, blue for the Aegean Sea and gold for the sun.
