Ltd. Edition Champagne Mumm Sabre Gift Box

Filed under: Spirits, Wine, Architecture & Design

Famed French champagne house G.H. Mumm, founded in 1827 and now owned by Pernod Ricard, has unveiled a chic new gift box in time for the holidays. The limited edition Sabre G.H. Mumm was designed by renowned Paris-based architect / designer Patrick Jouin. He very cleverly re-interpreted the iconic Mumm Cordon Rouge ribbon that adorns the bubbly's label as the handle of a modernistic sword for slicing the top off the bottle. The curled handle is covered in luxurious red hand-stitched leather while the blade is made of stainless steel with a blunt square end. The set, priced at about $850, is presented in a white lacquered wood and leather box with a pull-out drawer specially designed to hold ice and keep a bottle of Cordon Rouge at the ideal temperature for serving – after you perform the ceremony of sabre-ing off the cork.

The ultimate in portable yet stylishly good looking furniture, the One Shot.Mgx stool provides both a handy place to sit and easy space-saving storage options. Patrick Jouin's design has both an energetic contemporary appeal and innovative approach. By simply pulling up or pushing down on the center the stool twists between seating element and storage-ready shapes, and I must say not many folding chairs look this good. Perfect for keeping a few in the closet to pull out for guests and get-togethers when you need some extra seats. $3,960
