Promenade

By Flixkun

'Promenade' from the series 'Embossed'.

Hailing from an older Sliema, this bottle pays tribute to a Maltese town that has been completely commercialised and defaced over the past five decades. Promenade pays tribute to two of the most popular entertainment hotspots at the time; the Alhambra Theatre and the Chalet. Their iconic status remains as both contributed to the distinct cosmopolitan feel Sliema has always had.

'Embossed' is inspired by a collection of Maltese bottles from the early 20th century and seeks to offer a glimpse of what may have been forgotten. The Maltese element drawn from the embossed designs on each bottle serves to capture a romanticised nostalgia by animating the Maltese context through simple, yet beautiful visuals.
