That is funny. I live opposite of the 4711 building in Cologne and they have these space invaders in the windows :)

Good work

Yes indeed!
The idea was to show the number 4711 in a way that could conect with the mp3 and web culture.
I carved out 4711 units of volume from a 4096 units of glass + 1024 units of the cap.

Just a Trivial info... The 4711 cologne is one of the oldest if not the oldest cologne still in production. Is was the favored scent by Napoleon Bonaparte. :geek:

The number 4711 was the number Napoleon gave to the house where the company was founded (in Cologne) after the invasion...
