David Adjaye and Aston Martin, BIG and NASA, and Frank Gehry and Hennessy were some of the unexpected duos that collaborated on design projects in 2020 ? which we've rounded up as part of our review of the year.

Frank Gehry x Hennessy
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry and Hennessy released a crinkled gold bottle to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the brand's X.O cognac drink.
The handcrafted cover was forged from 24-carat gold-dipped bronze to evoke feelings of drinking cognac and the process by which it is made. Gehry said he hopes it is unlike "anything people have seen before".
