Starwood Insider - Jaime Gottlieb - W Hotels, Karim Rashid and Veuve Clicquot Team Up for a Brilliantly Bright Idea

Remember hearing about that pretty in pink Veuve Clicquot Loveseat by Karim Rashid? That design rock star, arm tats and all, has certainly been busy creating everything curvy, bright and groovy in every angle from furniture to fashion to funky spaces. Every magazine has written about him, and everyone has worked with him... even Dirt Devil.
Keeping things fresh is something he excels in, so it's no surprise he's teamed up again with Veuve Clicquot -- and this time with W Hotels -- to create a design item that not only shines but also keeps your bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rosé super cool.

Rashid's Globalight, a limited-edition piece that's a modern remix on the traditional French chandelier, creates a soft pink halo of LED light and a dream like atmosphere wherever it goes. Globalight is also an isotherm bottle carrier, so your bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rosé will keep its cool up to 4 hours.

Wanna get your hands on one? You'll have to head over to a participating W Hotel or visit wthestore.com because the Globalight - only 500 available at a suggested retail of $4500- are exclusively available there and at e-clicquot.com.

Kicking off the Globalight's big reveal, W Hotels will be hosting private cocktail receptions with Rashid at W properties in New York and Los Angeles. Also, head over to select W Hotels locations in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, San Diego, New Orleans, Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco from May through July 2008 to sneak a peak on the eye-catching Globalight. Oh, shiny!
