IN CONVERSATION WITH BOTTLE DESIGNER PIERRE DINAND

Pierre Dinand’s career has seen him consult every major fashion house for the creation of their fragrance bottles. From Dior to YSL, for whom he designed the iconic ‘Opium’ bottle, Dinand’s stories and legacy spans over 50 years. Trained as an architect, Dinand is both an artist and designer, with his designs pushing the boundaries of traditional perfume bottles, defining his iconic approach and style to fragrance. For Map of the Heart, Dinand created a bottle which resembled the anatomical heart. His design challenges the comfort of fragrance bottle design with its signature of the heart in all its ugly beauty that fits perfectly in the hand.
