Deseo Distributism

Simmy had her thinking cap on... what can I do with this 'Deseo' perfume? Perfumes are personal and she had purchased this one on a whim. So,... needing to get something out of the purchase even if it wasn't going to be used for its' original intent... she decided to write a 'connective story.'
What do G.K. Chesterton, Michelangelo, and 'Deseo' have in common?
Well,... the shape of the 'Deseo' perfume bottle, in 3D form, reminds me of the distributed form of the 'Distributed Economy,' a third-way economic philosophy developed by G.K.and Belloc.
If I had purchased enough bottles to create a connected form, then the model would present, quite satisfyingly, a 3D model of this philosophy, that... because of its' forward sailing ship angle... would be as infinite as the Munsell color system.
Michelangelo would likely really appreciate this angled tetrahedron perfume bottle and chuckle at the physical representation of what his cornea and lens could see every time he painted his famous pictures.
All in all, the perfume bottle is a great Looking Back to Look Forward modern representation of a distributed economy.
The 'structure and anarchy' of the design is a tense struggle and parallel to The Man Who Was Thursday.
Aren't we ever so glad that G.K.'s stint in the film industry as a silent cowboy didn't sidetrack his writing career.

Now, to whom can I distribute this bottle that may 'deseo' (desire) it?
