"Jeremy Pyles, who started his career as a photographer, describes his first foray into product design as an accident.
However, his picture perfect, handblown glass creations are anything but. Citing nature as his key influence, Pyles strives to create simple, organic, yet interesting forms. His signature line of 'Stamen' lamps, inspired by the structure of a flower, have become some of New York's most highly coveted objects. And the success of the lamps led to him launching his own East Village interiors boutique, Niche Modern, which has put him firmly on the city's design map. Like Chivas Regal 18 Year Old, one of the world's finest blends of whisky, Niche Modern puts incredible craft and care into its pieces, handmaking each to ensure a truly unique offering. But, while Pyles is dedicated to producing well-crafted, unique products, he took a different approach for his work for Chivas Regal 18.
The complexity of this blended whisky, its amber colour (the result of ageing in oak casks for a minimum of 18 years), and the shape of its distinctive bottle influenced a design far more intricate than the artist's previous work. A layered, interlocking series of five vessels (three of which are pictured here), blown in a rich shade of amber, the piece not only echoes the Chivas Regal 18 appreciation of quality handcraftsmanship, rich colour and individuality, but is also a stand-alone object of beauty, reflecting the luxurious essence of the whisky."
