FOUNDER OF SILVERLINING FURNITURE
The award-winning firm that Boddington started in 1985 hascreated masterpieces coveted by the world's rich and famous,including David Bowie, Kevin Costner and Prince Jefri Bolkiahof Brunei. The handcrafted pieces, featuring innovative designs and top-quality materials, are often found inpalaces and museums, and on superyachts around the world.
Silverlining Furniture's meticulous approach to bespoke furniture is similar to the way a Swiss watchmaker works on highly complicated timepieces - the tiniest details are the results of precision, elegance and dedication. And those who appreciate the beauty of vintage Cognac will recognise the subtle magnificence of the luxury Cognac and cigar collector's cabinet envisioned by Boddington.
"The cabinet mirrors the experience of drinking the very best Cognac and smoking [the best] cigars," Boddington says. "Combined with aesthetics from the world of automotive and yacht design, this has resulted in a contemporary yet timeless cabinet for the discerning gentleman."
The piece is inspired by Cognac's painstaking distilling process. The exterior is made of oak sourced especially from the Limousin forests in central France, where only the finest Cognac distillers and agers get their timber. Limousin oak barrels are known to provide more tannins and a unique vanilla-like flavour to the liquor.
