Coca-Cola Mystic

Jerome Olivet is the latest designer to imagine how the Coke bottle form could be reconsidered. Jerome's promotion of the bottle is, well, French. I will leave it to his description:

“Mystic surprised by its beauty and intensity. It was created to live an intense and fleeting moment. Its racy style describes a supernatural world which soars skyward. Its skin has a sculpted unique spiritual experience.We discover in the palm of our hand soft and aerodynamic forms. Its living surface is shaped by a force mysterious and transparent.It sends us all the energy and excitement of Coca-Cola Its sexy lines and red color give happiness in 3 dimensions.Both organic shapes intertwine and form a body ambiguous and fascinating. Its loving silhouette, ties into a true popular poetry.”

Death Bag-netic

The Death Bag, by Vedang Julkarni, uses a coffin shape to discourage mass use of plastic bags. It seems a bit counterintuitive, seeing as mass usage of this plastic bag is what will create such awareness. Regardless, it would have been a cool companion piece to the Metallica album.
