In the pursuit of novel creative processes, Dom Pérignon customarily leans more towards endurance. The champagne brand has often positioned itself as a facilitator of sorts, introducing an ever-unfurling artistic spiral that binds its past, present, and future to the alchemy of ideas borne out of pop culture’s most notable visionaries. 

Since 2005, Dom Pérignon has invited icons from Andy Warhol to Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons, David Lynch, and Lenny Kravitz to leave their mark on its bespoke and bubbly universe, and this May, the Maison introduced Creation is an Eternal Journey, a sweeping new chapter that extends its decades-long dialogue with such cultural fixtures. Over the course of the last few months, the conversation widens once more, shaped by seven defining voices: Zoë Kravitz, Clare Smyth, Tilda Swinton, Alexander Ekman, Anderson .Paak, Iggy Pop, and Takashi Murakami. 

Yet, it’s Murakami, contemporary art’s master of vivid contradictions, who takes the lead in this season’s collaboration. With his instantly recognizable Superflat aesthetic, the Japanese artist has reimagined Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and the debut release of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010 in two exclusive limited editions.

Murakami’s work draws from deep cultural codes—the two-dimensional purity of ukiyo-e, the balance between fullness and void, the restrained lyricism of line—traditions that he filters through the lens of manga, digital culture, and consumer iconography. Most notably, his smiling flowers speak to a world defined by surfaces, and they now bloom across Dom Pérignon’s dark, elegant bottles and coffrets, morphing them into dreamlike landscapes of jubilant celebration. 

Murakami’s collaboration reaches its crescendo in the form of a luminous sculptural orb. The extremely limited object boasts a metallic surface shimmering with engraved Murakami flowers and sealed by a delicate floral clasp. Inside, a radiant secret garden unfurls in hand-sculpted resin blooms, each unique and alive with color, with the last Jeroboams of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 enclosed in its center. 

As the champagne house’s traditional restraint merges with Murakami’s saturated exuberance, Dom’s tried-and-true codes of ritual find a new rapport, so that two players in transformation work to speak the same language of intensity, emotion, and presence. V want it, V love it. Bottoms up.
