THE House of Rémy Martin has announced it is teaming up with contemporary artist Anish Kapoor to reveal a limited-edition Rémy Martin XO decanter and exclusive artwork, ‘Mirroring Infinite Possibilities’ in celebration of this collaboration.
Offering a visual and sensory experience, the decanter and artwork explore colour, form, and space, capturing both Kapoor’s artistic style as well as the essence of Rémy Martin XO. It also honours a mutual commitment to excellence, uniting Rémy Martin’s storied heritage with Kapoor’s artistic vision, which has established him as one of the most renowned creatives in contemporary art.

The creative collaboration struck a personal chord with Anish Kapoor, he says, “There was a sense from the beginning of this project with Rémy Martin that it refers to my history. My father used to drink it when I was a boy in India, and I carried that with me.” It’s personal for the brand too, as it reflects a legacy deeply rooted in the House of Rémy Martin, founded over 300 years ago, where savoir-faire and heritage have been passed down through generations.
On the spirit, Jean-Philippe Hecquet, CEO of the House of Rémy Martin says of the XO, “Rémy Martin XO perfectly embodies the heritage and savoir-faire of the Maison. It is the ultimate expression of our terroir, offering an exceptionally smooth, full-bodied blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne that gradually releases a wealth of harmonious aromas. Its opulent radiance paired with the timeless design of its magnificent decanter has inspired Anish Kapoor, whose creation now becomes a part of our brand’s enduring legacy.”
