FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
MM: The name came from the Corsair word. A privateer or corsair (from the Italian "corsaro": ship commander who attacks ships) was someone who, by mission or through a government's charter (or letter of marque), was authorized to plunder ships from another nation, taking advantage of the fact that commercial transactions were based, at the time, on the material transfer of wealth. Theoretically, he was a legal pirate, recognized by international law.

MM: I used 3Ds Max and Vray, Illustrator was used to do the vectors and Photoshop for retouch.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
MM: I believe that's the concept of the bottle itself.

MM: This was only by myself. I worked on everything.
FS: What is the role of technology in this particular design?
MM: Nothing too much specific.
FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
MM: I did a great research on Behance and Pinterest mainly to grab some references.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
MM: Modelling the shape of the bottle was very challenging, and also understand how the light affects the shape leaded into a lot of tests.
FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
MM: I've been submiting works to A'Design Awards for years, i believe that's a great way to promote the works.
FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
MM: I learned to don't skip the steps on the project, on this case in specific i was always back to some step to refine. I'm a bit perfeccionist also, sometimes i think that the project will never be done, this is something that i always trying to improve.
