mari62 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Here Mika explains the meaning of his illustrations on the bottle I tried to translate... (sorry I'm not that good in translations..) "The design of the bottle represents what the word 'happiness' means for me, basically, let our imagination run wild. The tree which is a recurrent element in my creations, means the fertility of imagination which is the ultimate way towards happiness. I wanted to create a very strong universe for this bottle. I endeavoured to combine various topics, rich and fascinating. The natural elements (grass, trees, clouds) mix with elements from an other world (tribal characters), with surrealist objects (smiling teapot) with symbols of hope and freedom (dove holding gold keys, a smiling sun) I immediately felt that what I've created with my sister Yasmine, matched with the Coca cola universe, combined with the joy and the cheerful surrealism of my world, where things are joyful but never too sweet. As you can notice, the bottle makes reference to the psychedelic posters of the 60s. It was really important for me to use recurrent symbols in this creation and invent something completely new and unique for Coca Cola " there will also be a video where Mika talks about that they also say he's giving his whole fee to the foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephira Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Not understanding (very thick!). Nothing happens wherever you click at the moment! What is going to happen in 6 days - is that when the competition starts or what? Anyone know if you have to be in France to enter it? I will need at least 6 days to organise moving house In France we have no information about this competition We have to return on the happiness bottle website on Tuesday at 4pm, and I'm pretty sure that we have to return the next Tuesday again 1/3 of the bottle became white that's why I think the process during 2 more weeks. The next week the bottle be white at 2/3, and the next week at 100% and the competition will open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 A huge parcel , for a red tiny box. Unwrapping took ages! :roftl: Oh I'm glad to hear that. I've been paranoid it will get damaged in transit. Mine was delivered yesterday but it was COD because of customs fees so they wanted the cash before they would release it and I wasn't home. :sneaky2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Clay Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I received my boxed 'Coke MIKA' today. Exciting. Came really fast after I placed the order. Very well packed. It is a little smaller than I anticipated, but I am very happy to have it. I ordered two single bottles before the single boxed one, so I was surprised that the boxed one arrived first. Rushes to place dead center of my MIKA SHRINE. http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2849453&postcount=1018 Actually it is like a little self-contained Mika Shrine all by itself!

A. Clay Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yep, that's exactly what I meant: smaller than anticipated! I really enjoy seeing the Coke brand & the MIKA "brand" linked! . . . Just placed the bottle next to the above image. The bottle is about 3-4 bottle caps taller than the image. It contains 250 ml of beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzbuzz Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I wish the box was cheaper, I love it. My favorite guy is the cool snail. I love snails. I would be so happy if the artwork for the box was uploaded so I can get the snail by itself. Or a photo of the snail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thats just what I wanted to hear It's really well done. It's thick board all around and it closes on top with a concealed magnet. There's a ribbon at the bottom that acts like the rope on a drawbridge when you open it. The Coke bottle is much smaller than I thought as it's only 250 ml, but it's lovely. My only complaint is the bottlecap is scratched up. I don't know if this is normal and happened during the bottling process or it's because my bottle came out of its hole while it was in transit. I'm amazed that it didn't damage any of the cutout artwork inside the box because I could hear it rattling around before I opened it. If other people don't have scratched bottlecaps I might try to get another bottle to keep with the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
