Who? Royal Trunk
What? Trunks that don’t travel is the inspiration behind Royal Trunk’ latest collection, unveiled at Milan Design Week this year. We love this Milano trunk, the most luxurious work station that you’ll ever come across. The exterior is made up of precious leather, bound by 2000 gold brass tacks. Inside you’ll find a leather desk, fabric drawers and upholstered seating. It’ll make you want to work.
