Distinctive and sophisticated

Kitzbühel | issue 52 | Winter 2022

A service trolley is part of the fixed inventory in all the airplanes of the world. The manufacturers known as “bordbar” in Cologne transform their airplane trolleys into timeless, unusual and authentic designer objects.

Highest standards of quality and functionality coupled with inimitable designs are the components of their success story. bordbar manufactures new trolleys and even refurbishes old ones. Their interiors are individualized according to customer wishes and finished by hand. Thus, each piece of furniture is unique. In their design studios, new possibilities for use are being ongoingly developed. For example, there are airplane trolleys with their own custom cooler to keep beverages chilled. For gin lovers, a gin-trolley was created with special shelves and a tub for ice cubes. And cigar lovers can look forward to a trolley with its very own humidor. Also in the bathroom, kitchen with wood butcher-blocks, on the terrace next to the barbecue grill, in foyers and offices, these trolleys cut a very fine figure. Their uses are nearly infinite. It is no coincidence that the airplane trolleys were awarded high distinction: the Reddot Design Award, the Good Design Award, the Green Product Award, the Interior Innovation Award, the Design Prize of Germany, to name but a few of the honours. bordbar even goes so far as to provide a 30-year guarantee for newly produced trolleys. The trolleys are available at the first and only bordbar flagship store by thom.
