A sculpted wooden desktop letter opener inspired by the timeless curves of the Porsche 356.

The art of opening your mail with timeless style

Designed for refined gentlemen drivers with a deep appreciation for design and craftsmanship, this Porsche 356 letter opener is handcrafted from rare woods such as American walnut, elm, or olive ash. It carries the warmth of a traditional workshop, the elegance of classic materials, and the finesse of a craftsman's hand. Its natural oiled finish enhances the unique grain of the wood - revealing what only the authentic can convey: truth in simplicity.

Measuring approximately 17 cm, it rests in the hand like the gear selector of a 1950s Porsche. Balanced, smooth, and robust, it glides beneath the envelope with the same effortless grace that defined the early 356 models on the open road. Whether your hands are delicate or shaped by years of mechanical passion, it offers a perfect grip - no compromise, no hesitation.

And because such an object deserves more than a drawer, it comes nestled in a full-grain leather case, designed like a vintage Porsche mini tool box - a nod to Mille Miglia roadbooks, travel gloves, and the understated ritual of warm-up laps at dawn.

Why is this Porsche 356 paper cutter more than just a desk accessory?

Because you are among those collectors who believe a Porsche is never just a car, and a tool has never just one function.

Because you know that elegance is in the detail, not the display.

Offer it, display it, pass it on: this Porsche 356 letter opener is a fragment of Zuffenhausen spirit, delicately placed where your finest ideas take shape.
A daily ritual with a heritage feel — for those who live the Porsche philosophy beyond the wheel.

  • About the Porsche 356 : First in the bloodline, forever in our hearts

    The first car to bear the Porsche name, the 356 was born in 1948 in a small Austrian workshop. Designed by Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand, it embodied the idea of a light, elegant and agile car, true to the credo: less weight, more performance.

    First hand-built in Gmünd, then in Stuttgart from 1950 onwards, the 356 evolved through several series (Pre-A, A, B, C), each refining lines and performance. Its dazzling success is based on its balance, reliability and fluid lines, which have become emblematic. The Speedster version, commissioned by American importer Max Hoffman, seduced the West Coast and the racetracks, and became a cult hit with James Dean.

    Today, with over 76,000 examples produced, the 356 remains a sure bet for collectors, prized for its authenticity, racing DNA and unique place in Porsche history. A legend on wheels, the cornerstone of an empire.

About the craftsman.

The cabinetmaker who carves wood into the bodywork of legends

The craftsman shapes wood in the same way that others restore classic cars: with precision, uncompromising attention to detail and an immense tenderness for timeless forms.

Son of a craftsman, he discovered the world of wood at a very early age in his father's workshop, where he developed a passion for the material and learned to understand and respect it. With a joiner's CAP and cabinetmaker's CAP in his pocket, he became an accomplished craftsman, renowned for his expertise.

In 2020, he founded his company to bring together his two passions: wood and cars. Bugatti, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford, Jaguar, Delahaye, Maserati ... His collection of automotive décorations & art furniture, limited edition pieces in solid wood, leather and metal, are entirely handcrafted in France, from the initial sketch to the final prototype.

It results in a style that is retro, noble and daring, transforming each piece of furniture & automotive decorations into a one-of-a-kind automotive collectible.
