Mortlach Whisky Collaborates with Joe Doucet and Sabine Marcelis on Bespoke Pieces for NYCxDesign
Mortlach Single Malt Scotch Whisky partnered with Joe Doucet and Sabine Marcelis to release two bespoke products during NYCxDesign in May. Tropos, a bold and reflective chair, and SHIFT, a delicate yet structural glass bar cart, embody the complexity and individuality of the Single Malt Scotch that inspired them. The pieces were unveiled during NYCxDesign in an exciting and immersive installation in collaboration with SIZED.
Tropos, by Joe Doucet, was inspired by “The Way,” the unique, top-secret distillation process exclusive to Mortlach that has been passed down by distillers for generations. SHIFT, by renowned Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis, is simultaneously mysterious and accessible, inspired by the enigmatic nature of Mortlach. The bar cart is incredibly dynamic; the rich brown and honey hues of the glass are dually translucent and opaque, imitating the tint and transparency of Mortlach liquid.
Mortlach by Design celebrates this design-forward process by partnering with some of the world’s best designers and rising creatives on one-of-a-kind products that will culminate in an extraordinary whisky experience. For NYCxDesign and Frieze NY, Mortlach by Design is partnering with SIZED on their first exhibition in New York, Industrialism, curated by Creative Director Alexander May. Mortlach hosted a Mortlach by Design Lounge in partnership with SIZED, featuring the bespoke products from this program as well as a Mortlach custom bar.
