Takashi Murakami designs limited-edition Perrier bottles

Takashi Murakami has created limited-edition packaging for Perrier mineral water. The collaboration marks the latest in a series of commercial partnerships for the Japanese artist, whose signature characters have appeared on clothing, objects, and gadgets. Murakami expressed feeling “extremely fortunate” for the opportunity to work with a brand with such a long history. In a video, he shared personal anecdotes: at age 32, newly moved to New York, he often drank Perrier; at 18, on his first romantic date in Ginza, he ordered a Perrier thinking it was alcoholic, recalling the confusion when he felt no effect after several glasses.
