Yes, there are. Creations that demonstrate to us what perfection really is. Solutions that are so well thought-out and sophisticated that they take the concept of what is feasible into a whole new dimension. T.T.Trunks is still a young artisan workshop – and yet it is already making history. To merely say that this is about producing high-quality cases does this Paris-based company a serious injustice. This is about exclusive space wonders, precisely made to measure, carrying noble treasures within them. Whether it is the presentation of your personal favourite pieces or the stylish presentation of worlds of pleasure – that is entirely up to the client’s wishes. Anything is possible.
When I see the closed cases, I inevitably become curious about their inner life and the world beyond them. The exterior alone is utterly impressive: superior leather in deep black or cognac, with a fine structure, shiny metal elements, hammered riv-ets and filigree closures. These garnishes envelop the main body made of selected wood. The interior also follows the exclusive high quality and bespoke principle. The choice of materials depends entirely on the objects that are contained within them, using velvet, fabric, wood or moulded metal. No limits – this was the clear philosophy declared by T.T.Trunks right from the beginning. The team of design-ers and constructors, specialists in wood, embroidery, metal and leather crafts perform together like a virtuoso orchestra, generating the perfect masterpiece as imagined by the customer. Then the moment I’ve been waiting for: the lid rises to reveal its contents to me: eight glasses, for example, waiting to be filled with a drop or two of something exquisite. Or the perfectly fitting humidor directly un-derneath these. Here, several cases combine to create an elegant cupboard-like furnishing, where this unique piece presents its multitude of Star (Wars) qualities.
It goes without saying that the bespoke manufactory concepts are in demand worldwide. T.T.Trunks manufactures for a discerning private clientele as well as for international luxury brands. Visionary thinking and avant-garde technology, com-bined with traditional craftsmanship and fine materials, are the firm cornerstones of its success. This was also the guiding force behind the development of the Millesime Trunk T512: combining all the facets of innovative product development. It is hardly surprising that it has since found its way into the standard range of the T.T.Trunks Collection, given its ingenious system and multitude of features. It offers everything to create that one perfect moment of enjoyment – and all that from the most compact surface possible: music streams out from the WLAN loud-speakers, the side compartments accommodate glasses, a wine cabinet ensures your Grand Cru and champagne are kept at the perfect temperature, drawers offer space for fine red wines, which can all be arranged on the extendable tray... And you will be well prepared for a romantic excursion, too: the upper part of the Millesime has a separate case with champagne and two glasses ready for use. The thing I found most inspiring? Apart from the finest in design, the contempo-rary aesthetics and the variety of possibilities, you mean? It has to be the function-ality of the innovative high-tech components and silent gliding mechanics. A case is not just a case. T.T.Trunks tells us just this in a wonderful, incomparable way.
