The FACUNDO Rum Collection, of the Bacardi family’s private reserves, and Latin American artist Damian Aquiles unveiled ten one-of-a-kind luxury bar trays, each created as unique works of art. Aquiles, who resides and works in Havana, Cuba, was enlisted by FACUNDO to spearhead this bold new initiative, which elevates rum to an art form and celebrates the exciting, diverse world of Latin American art and culture that is inherent to the luxury rum brand’s origin.

Each of the bar trays from the new collection are inspired by the exquisite FACUNDO bottles, which highlight an ongoing history of cultural appreciation intrinsic to the spirit of Bacardi – taking design cues from the brand’s Cuban heritage as well as the art deco of the 1930s. Featuring vivid hues painted on salvaged and repurposed Cuban-sourced sheet metal, then doused in gasoline and fired up, no two trays are the same.

Aquiles credits Beth Rudin de Woody, Paul & Nancy Pelosi, Rita Schrager and more as collectors of his work. Beyond his artwork, Aquiles and his wife Pamela Ruiz have become renowned in Cuba for their remarkable home – where they host celebrity guests including the likes of Katy Perry, Will and Jada Smith, and Rufus Wainwright.
