Absolut Absolut tasked renowned Swedish Illustrator Kari Modén with creating an uplifting and expressive design for the new limited edition bottle that celebrates a world that is open. Selected for her characteristically decorative and bright style, Kari’s artwork expresses love, peace and togetherness. Designed especially for those with a passion for travel, the hyper- colourful and joyous bottle is exclusive to duty free stores. “It was a dream come true for Absolut to ask me to create this design. As a Swede, I was honoured to work with one of our most famous and celebrated vodka brands, and as an artist, I was happy that the task at hand was to celebrate what unifies humanity as one. I love that the bottle is only available when travelling too, as it makes it a unique keepsake or great conversation-starter when given as a gift,” Kari Modén says. the World Of Hospitality 17
