Chivas Regal and Dan Funderburgh create Limited Edition Designer Gift Tin

Trying to cashing the festive and holiday season, Chivas Regal has teamed with New York illustrator Dan Funderburgh to launch a limited-edition gift tin for its famed 12-year-old expression a perfect gifting option during Christmas – available from December 2011.

The tin, which is inspired by the Chivas Regal crest, features a striking gold image of the luxury Scotch whisky house’s lion emblem.

Commenting on the designer collaboration, James Slack, Brand Director for Chivas Regal, said: “Known for contemporary, baroque designs inspired by historical ornamentation, Dan was the perfect artist to reflect the distinctive style and rich heritage of Chivas Regal.”

Funderburgh added: “Heraldic crests have always appealed to me aesthetically so I wanted to utilise this element of Chivas Regal in my design. Within the lion I included patterns that are relevant to the Chivas brand – some Scottish thistles and checks, interspersed with more contemporary geometric patterns. The aim was to achieve an end result that was bold, but with delicate details and a contemporary approach to the tradition of chivalry.”
