Harrington X Saphire

Los Angeles artist Steven Harrington has been tapped most recently by Bombay Sapphire to collaborate on a new version of their iconic blue bottle. During the process, Harrington found starting out to be the most difficult, so he began with simply getting little scratches on the page and from there he was able to use his personal background and external surroundings to explore and push himself further to find what he really wanted to say and evoke with this Bombay Sapphire bottle.

This new collaboration came by way of Harrington through fellow art peer, Hebru Brantley, who also recently had his own Bombay bottle collaboration earlier this year and introduced him to the project. From there things just kind of naturally led Steven into designing a limited-edition bottle. 

With Sapphire specifically, it has a lot to do with the fact that the classic spirit contains 10 hand-selected botanicals from exotic locations around the world. Harrington showcases subtle details in the artwork by adding illustrations along the bottom like the lemon peel, almonds for the almond powder and juniper berries. From there, the rest of the creation is akin to his own unique personal style, honing in on a mix of bright colors, psychedelic-pop and tongue-in-cheek graphics that really bring the flavor and fun out of the Bombay Sapphire collection.
