Premium French natural spring water brand Evian, which has redefined luxury dining, is celebrating its 200th year anniversary with a new Jeff Koons collaboration, along with an exclusive dining and cultural experience throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Since its inception in 1826, Evian, renowned as one of the most expensive bottled water brands, has become a culturally iconic name famed for its natural spring water with light, fine sparkles from the French Alps.
What to know about the Evian x Jeff Koons 200th Anniversary Bottle Series
To commemorate the milestone, the company shared a portrait featuring brand ambassadors Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu, Frances Tiafoe, and Céline Boutier along with American artist Jeff Koons, showcasing a blend of culture, tennis, and golf set against the backdrop of the French Alps. The French Alps are, notably, the renowned location where Evian natural mineral water undergoes its 15‑year natural filtration.
To celebrate its bicentennial, Evian unveiled a collaboration with world-renowned artist Jeff Koons to launch two limited-edition glass bottles. The bottles come in pink (still) and blue (sparkling), and present a whimsical portrayal of “Balloon Dog,” one of Koons’ best-known pieces. The “Balloon Dog,” which has long been connected to happiness, playfulness, and celebration, embodies the iconic Live Young spirit of Evian, and is set to add a festive touch to dinner tables worldwide.
Speaking on the collaboration, Koons said, “When Evian approached me, the message about youth immediately resonated with me. It reflects a truth I deeply believe in: youth is not defined by age, but by a mindset. I’ve always loved Evian natural mineral water, so when I was invited to celebrate the brand’s 200 Years Young milestone, I was excited to create these special limited-edition bottles. I chose to incorporate my ‘Balloon Dog’ into the design because it not only echoes the iconic status of the brand itself, but also embodies the spirit of celebration, playfulness, curiosity, and the joy of creating, a moment that feels both life-giving and uplifting.”
Evian will also celebrate its anniversary regionally, with amazing fine dining experiences and chef-community events that will only strengthen the bond of the brand with fine dining culture. During the year-round program, the regions’ finest meals will be accompanied by the limited-edition bottles of Jeff Koons’s Evian Still and Sparkling water. Additionally, a series of 4 Hands Dinners will be held, where chefs and Evian Chef Ambassadors will serve their signature offerings with the brand’s products.
In Singapore, the brand will create an exclusive culinary moment with Evian Chef Brand Ambassador, Chef Louis Pacquelin of Les Ducs. As a part of his Asia tour, Chef Pacquelin is set to host a series of exclusive dinners that bring Evian’s culinary story to life in key markets across the region. It will reflect the Lion City’s reputation as a leading global dining destination, bringing together refined gastronomy and Evian’s natural mineral water in a setting that celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and contemporary luxury.
The brand is set to kick off its 200 Years Young festivities with a special gathering in Évian-les-Bains. In addition to exploring the protected landscape that defines the distinctive mineral composition of Evian, the event will take brand enthusiasts back to the source, allowing them to immerse themselves in the cultural spheres that have defined the brand’s identity for two centuries.
