An Introduction to Our World
In a world where speed often overshadows substance, R V R S stands for something different — the art of slowing down to create something timeless.
Born from the mind of designer and audio engineer Rivers, R V R S merges heritage craftsmanship, refined aesthetics, and high-fidelity sound into collectible works of art. Each creation is not just a speaker trunk — it is a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a bridge between past and future.
Where Heritage Meets Innovation
Our journey began not in a factory, but in a moment of inspiration — a classic suitcase repurposed into a powerful speaker and carried through the streets of New York City. Music spilled into the air of Central Park, drawing curiosity and conversation. That first experiment became a vision: to merge the elegance of luxury fashion with the immersive power of sound.
Today, every RVRS trunk is a symphony of precision and storytelling. We draw from the design language of great cultural empires throughout history — not the states themselves, but the people whose art, style, and character have shaped the world. From the brushstrokes of Renaissance masters to the patterns of African textiles, from the grace of Japanese craftsmanship to the bold forms of Art Deco, these influences are reinterpreted for a modern, global audience.
More Than a Speaker
An R V R S trunk is:
- Art — Handmade, numbered, and worthy of display in the most discerning collections.
- Heritage — Built with materials and techniques that echo the craft traditions of luxury houses.
- Performance — Engineered to deliver concert-grade sound with meticulous acoustic tuning.
Each piece carries our motto: Rex Vitae Regere Sortem — King of Life, To Rule Fate but modernly translated to, “Creator of My Own Destiny”. It is a reminder that our destinies are crafted by our own hands, and our work is a testament to that belief.
Our Vision
We imagine a future where R V R S trunks sit in museums as much as they do in living rooms, where they travel with musicians, collectors, and tastemakers, and where they inspire those who value beauty as much as performance.
From the streets of New York to galleries around the world, RVRS exists to create objects that command attention, spark emotion, and stand the test of time.
