STORIES EP.6: SCOTTISH TREASURE
The Scottish Highlands are famous all over the world for their beauty and mystery with their stunning scenery and spectacular wilderness. And it is precisely Scotland's rich variety of resources and landscapes that inspire these two passionated designers to create beautiful trunks, where innovative technology works alongside careful design.
“Scotland is really the land of elements, the sea, the wind, the rain...extreme environments, but also beautiful environments. We take a great amount of ideas and inspiration from the landscape surrounding us” explains Marisa Giannasi, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Method Studio, an innovative design company specialized in bespoke trunks and case goods.
De hecho, fabricar baúles es algo más que una pasión para el dúo de diseñadores de Method Studio; se trata de una cuestión familiar. El estudio se fundó en 2009, en la Escocia rural, por el matrimonio de la arquitecta Marisa Giannasi y el ebanista de segunda generación Callum Robinson. Al trabajar de cerca con marcas de lujo prestigiosas y exigentes clientes privados, Method Studio crea desde entonces minuciosamente a mano exclusivos baúles personalizados y muebles; baúles que han demostrado ser tan originales y elegantes como ingeniosos.
So what is the secret to making the perfect trunk? “Original, organic and beautiful materials” smiles Marisa, adding that their choice of high quality materials include locally sourced oak, ash and timber wood, as well as organic leather, crystal and silver. Loyal to the trunk-making legacy, each of Method Studio’s trunks are made with the utmost attention to details, which is a true testament to the designer-duo’s commitment to high levels of artisanal creation.
In addition, Method Studio always takes great care in putting the customer at the center of their creative process, by listening to what their clientele wants and desires. In this sense, each trunk is unique because it is created to contain different types of objects that often have a sentimental value (a fragrance, a personal object, memorabilia).
“Our story is very important to us – we don’t just sell a product, we sell the story of how the product was made, the story of where the tree came from, the story of the man who sold us the tree” concludes Marisa. “You can follow the story all the way back to the beginning, to the origin of the pieces that we make. What we do is very authentic, our pieces have both, a heart and a soul.”

VOICES FROM AN ICY COAST
The Parajumpers Stories speak of lives outside the ordinary, lived in the remotest corners of earth where powerful forces of nature make everyday survival a challenge.
Svalbard in Norwegian means “Icy Coast”. Yet Heidi Sevestre, a resident ‘ice doctor’, has seen the troubling signs that this frozen landscape has changed in recent decades.
The rugged beauty of Svalbard can make it difficult to leave. Just ask Jason Roberts, originally from Australia and one of the long- time residents of the Norwegian Archipelago.
“Guiding guests through the wilderness of Svalbard is “the best job you can have”, says Kristin Eriksson. At just 23, Kristin has already been a nature guide on 3 different Continents.
In the last decade, more and more people have come to Svalbard motivated by the beauty of the place but also by the challenge of what it means to survive both as a community as well as an individual in such a unique location.
