Drawing inspiration from the classic story Alice in Wonderland, Simmons' “Bottle Service” plays on elements of childhood imagination to explore our desires as adults. The bottle shaped cabinet explores the delicate balance between childlike wonder and adult hedonism - similar to the original Lewis Carroll story.

The interior features lacquered walls and adjustable / removable shelves adorned with vibrant pages and illustrations from the children’s storybook. The prominent "Drink Me," tag invites viewers to partake in the experience of consumption, distortion, or simply imbuing one’s space with something that metaphorically transports viewers to a fantasy world.
