To celebrate the creation of the piece, RIMOWA has teamed up with revered French soloist, recitalist and chamber musician Renaud Capuçon. As a friend of the brand, the new RIMOWA × GEWA Violin Case Silver was an obvious choice to carry and protect his instrument, the ‘Panette Stern’ built by Guarneri ‘del Gesù, a prolific violin that dates back to 1737.

With the Maison accompanying him throughout the process, the prized violin was transported inside the RIMOWA × GEWA Violin Case Silver as Capuçon made his way to New York City for a major performance. Always on the move to a host of venues across the globe, a reliable case is crucial to protect his precious instrument, making the RIMOWA × GEWA Violin Case Silver the ultimate travel companion for Capuçon.
