A bespoke wicker trunk for bar professionals
RENÉE PARIS was commissioned by an agency specializing in spirits marketing to design a fully bespoke wicker trunk for one of its clients.
Created for bartenders and brand activations, this trunk was designed to be both elegant, easily transportable and perfectly functional, able to hold all the essentials required for cocktail preparation. It also needed to faithfully reflect the brand’s universe and identity.
Our team supported the agency at every stage of the project: concept development, selection of materials and craftsmanship, design of the interior layout, development of finishes and production follow-up.
The brand provided the full set of bar equipment, enabling a precise study of volumes and the creation of compartments tailored to each accessory.
The trunk was entirely hand-woven by a French basket maker, while the navy blue grained leather elements were crafted by a leather artisan. The handles, lid support straps, as well as the functional and aesthetic details, were carefully designed to ensure durability, ease of use and refinement.
The base of the trunk was reinforced and protected from moisture with a clear-stained panel. The leather finishes reflect a high level of craftsmanship: the edges are hand-painted with tone-on-tone coloured resin, creating a smooth, slightly rounded and long-lasting finish.
Finally, the brand’s logo, embroidered on a cotton panel, signs the inside of the lid and reinforces the project’s identity.
Dimensions: 50 × 30 × 30 cm
