Here is a clip from our feature on the Ukraine Travel show Heads or Tails back in 2015. (aka Орёл и Решка )
Filmed in San Francisco, California. The Hosts of the Show flip a coin and one of them gets to go around a city and spend an unlimited amount while the other only has $100. Tony, the host in the clip, “won” the unlimited amount.
It’s an honor for us to be apart of this amazing new book “Made to Last: A Compendium of Artisans, Trades & Projects” by Vanessa Murray! She wrote an amazing feature about us and many other artists in this beautifully designed book. Well worth it just to see all the great things still made by hand throughout the world.
You can purchase the book at Amazon (link) or Barnes and Noble (link)
Our Hendrick’s Gin BoomCase takes multiple days to make from start to finish. Because of how much is involved in this BoomCase we decided to put together this little video of some of what goes into making these limited edition BoomCases. Enjoy!
Last November we flew out to Nashville and installed this working BoomCase Speaker Wall in a beautiful house. One year later the owners sent us a picture of how they ended up decorating the room. It’s amazing! See more of how it originally looked here – http://theboomcase.com/nashville-speaker-wall/

Announcing the Hendrick’s Gin x BoomCase collaboration!
Now available in our online store. Read the full press release below:
Hendrick’s Gin is pleased to announce its partnership with The BoomCase, maker of the original rechargeable vintage suitcase boom box, which this week unveiled a one-of- a-kind speaker system that includes a full Hendrick’s Gin Tea Set. The collaboration embodies the eccentricity of the world-renowned gin brand, combined with the innovation of The BoomCase, creating the most unusual electric speaker fit for the most refined tippler and appreciator of the art of entertainment.
Since 2009, The BoomCase founder Dominic Odbert has been creating speaker systems out of
vintage suitcases at his boutique studio in California, crafting a most unique product that blends imaginative sound engineering and superior design. No stranger to curious fusions, Hendrick’s Gin itself is made in tiny batches by a single stillman using a unique distillation technique. With a distinctive blend of botanicals and infusion of cucumber and rose petals, Hendrick’s has captivated the attention and hearts of bartenders and bon vivants alike.
As The BoomCase strives to further push the innovation of sound design while preserving the
heritage of the past, and Hendrick’s continues to surprise and delight its drinkers with the art of the unusual, the two entities are an impeccable match for brilliant revelry.
The limited edition collaboration, of which only 15 BoomCases will be available for purchase, will feature a 100 watt amplifier powering two 6.5″ woofers, one 5″ midrange speaker and four dome tweeters, offering full balanced sound in a portable package. The rechargeable lithium battery provides over 18+ hours of playtime per charge through an auxiliary cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth. The structure itself is handmade from birch wood and features leather trim, harris tweed and steel hardware. In addition to the speaker system, a Hendrick’s Gin Tea Set consisting of one tea pot, two tea cups, two saucers and a placeholder for a 750-ml. bottle (bottle not included) are all incorporated to aid in the celebration.
‘The collaboration between Hendrick’s Gin and The BoomCase was created with the aim to provide
its recipients with an extraordinary experience that can transcend the test of time, as only music and merriment can do. We hope that this most unusual way to toast the town while listening to tunes will be an absolute delight to its owner,” said Fred Parent, Hendrick’s Gin Ambassador.
This unique item is available for purchase only at http://store.theboomcase.com/. For more information

We had the enormous pleasure of sharing the BoomCase at the Food Network, New York City Food and Wine Festival (NYCWFF). For two days world renowned chefs, culinary rock-stars and media personalities had a chance to experience BoomCases first hand as a part of the “Thank You Lounge” curated by GBK Productions.
The festival took place at Pier 92 in a 130,000 foot pavilion filled with chefs and wine makers prepared to wow you with small bites and signature drinks. Wine enthusiasts, food-bloggers, editors, and restaurant industry leaders enjoyed a variety of rare and cult favorite brands with a range of diverse offerings from Japanese wagu beef to New Orleans Pralines (this explains the mardi gras beads we found in our suitcases). Cooking demonstrations played on flat screens from multiple stages as Food Network stars did what they do best in front of live audiences.
In the GBK Thank you Lounge we had the opportunity to share the Boom with Emeril Lagasse, Marcus Samuelsson, Patti Labelle, Neil Patrick Harris, Rachael Ray, Andrew Zimmern, Adam Richman and many more on their way to and from cookbook signings and shows. The response was incredible and watching the way each guest interacted with the BoomCases created the need for this post.
Rachael Ray won the award for longest “Wooow,” and we’re happy to know Chef Marcus Samuelsson is a vintage suitcase collector. Can’t wait to get started on all of the cases for our new fans. Check out the pictures to see more from the event and thank you to everyone who stopped by. We’re also glad we were able to DJ from our BoomCase, and kept everyone in the suite dancing.
Need a new radio for your Vintage Ford? Your Porsche? Morris Minor? We got you covered. Instead of putting a garish new car stereo in, many people have been opting for a BoomCase.
