About the Collaboration

The 1664 Blanc Summer Olympics Edition

French beer brand 1664 Blanc collaborated with iconic Fashion designer and artist Jean-Charles de Castelbajac for a colourful pop summer Olympics edition. Thus, the collaboration marks a major artistic shift, enabling the brand to enhance its image and attract new consumers.

Meanwhile, this partnership merges 1664 Blanc’s identity with Castelbajac’s pop aesthetic, transforming each bottle into a creative canvas while still preserving the brand’s signature codes. 

For this edition, Castelbajac reworked the iconic blue bottle with bold hues, sun and cloud motifs, and playful collages that evoke summer. His signature colours naturally echo the universal color palette of the Olympics logo, celebrating the upcoming Olympics in Paris.

"I wanted these clouds to be fragments of summer, with a sun appearing."
