Trunk maker of
a New Age.
© Thomas Dhanens
At Bodenhorst, we do not merely craft trunks—we create bespoke cases and unique furniture, thoughtfully designed for collectors, creatives, and visionaries. For those who seek uniqueness, a faithful reflection of their identity and treasures. Each creation embodies our commitment to excellence, offering much more than an object: an intimate experience, a story in which every gesture transforms into a ritual.
Dedicated to enlightened explorers who do not follow trends but rather inspire them, our client appreciates objects with a soul—conceived with intent and brought to life with meticulous care. An aesthete and an epicurean in the finest sense, they seek harmony between substance and form.
They do not consume—they choose. They do not own—they become attached.
We select only the most exquisite leathers and carefully sourced timbers, ensuring that every detail—from the sumptuous grain of the hide to the remarkable finesse of the joinery—embodies unmatched quality. Our artisans’ expertise is fully revealed in the intricate details of the woodwork, which serve to enhance the leather in a refined fusion of noble materials.
Bodenhorst was born of a collaboration between the leather design studio Niyona and the cabinetmaking atelier of Alexandre Lowie. United by a shared ambition and a profound desire to create intimate, personal experiences for clients seeking authenticity and distinction, we honour the rich heritage of traditional craftsmanship.
Each Bodenhorst case is a unique creation, specifically crafted to house a particular collection or precious object of great personal value. Whether displayed or discreetly stored, they exist to elevate both its contents and its settings. And, as in times past, it is meant to journey—ever a loyal travelling companion.
In a world where time is our greatest luxury and the resources of our planet our finest inspiration, every Bodenhorst piece is meticulously handmade—piece by piece, stitch by stitch. This process, both passionate and deliberate, reflects our ethical values and reverence for enduring materials. We seek an elegant equilibrium of beauty and utility, faithful to the art of fine craftsmanship.
