Drawing inspiration from birch bark canoes and bi-plane wing construction, this modern interpretation of the classic steamer trunk has a solid ash frame, meticulously interlocked by over 200 traditional joints and skinned with 1.5mm thick birch and hand-stitched leather.
An uncompromising fusion of traditional and contemporary influences and techniques, this very special 'one off' METHOD X DENHAM Journeyman has been specifically designed for the Journeyman Jeanmaker, boasting an array of custom detailing.
• A playful, modern interpretation of the classic steamer trunk.
• A collusion encapsulating the Denham ethos and detail-rich approach to design, in the Method style. Bringing together traditional and innovative elements to create an utterly unique piece of luxury furniture
• A solid ash skeletal framework - echoing the birch bark canoe or bi- plane wing structure – for lightness and flexibility.
• Gently curved grain feature carefully divined for superior rib strength.
• Held together with over 200 interconnected traditional joints
• Skinned in virtually weightless 1.5mm birch
• Knitted to the rib structure with over 150 hand-Japanned, custom engineering fixings. (With every head meticulously lined up)
• The Journeyman’s innovative inward curving form allows only the outward edges to ever touch the ground – these are protected by locally hand-stitched leather.
• Moved around with thick, hand-cut leather handles and locked with beautifully contrasting, industrial case fittings.
• Internally, the left side of the Journeyman contains a generous garment hanging space, sealed in from the elements by a handcrafted flysheet of the finest Japanese selvedge denim, detailed with re-cut vintage leather.
• Unlocking the intricately hand-carved drop-down work surface reveals the true secrets of the Journeyman
• An elegant column of carousels - all carved from the same piece of solid ash – swivel out to reveal spare buttons, rivets, thread spools etc.
• Over 50 hand-cut leather discs fasten a webbing of straps to safely secure the tools of the jeanmakers trade.
• Wire-whipped vertical shock cords weave the solid ash shelving together, creating a virtually weightless securing method for garments, while custom steel dogs and unique tapered ash plugs literally stitch the shelves into place
