Combining luxury and quality

Designing HENK: for durability, reliability, and long-term value

HENK is still one of Spark’s most iconic products. It represents complex engineering puzzles and embodies core values that still define Spark today: breakthrough concept, robustness, challenging engineering, flawless quality, honed for longevity. Its design delivers long-term value, ensuring that investments in materials and engineering are justified over the product’s lifecycle.

HENK is a high-end travel suitcase positioned in the top segment of the luxury market. Supported by a lifetime warranty, it had to meet exceptionally high standards. The suitcase needed to be extremely durable, refined in its operation, and effortless to use.

Combining techniques and materials

The HENK weighs under 5 kilograms, yet it consists of over 500 components. All specifically designed for this suitcase. Achieving this balance required the combination of materials and production techniques from multiple industries. From material selection to final assembly, Spark manages the full development process to ensure cohesive quality.

 

Every function of the suitcase can be operated with one hand, emphasizing ease of use without compromising on performance.

Testing, Testing, Testing

To guarantee this level of quality, HENK underwent extensive testing. The wheels alone have covered thousands of kilometers on our custom-built treadmill. Every system within the suitcase has been rigorously tested under demanding conditions. HENK is designed for global travel, so we made sure it performs reliably across a wide range of climates, withstanding temperatures from -20°Cto 60°C. This ensures predictable performance and risk mitigation for users worldwide.

Drivers of Luxury

Luxury is not defined by quality alone. Every aspect of HENK reflects its premium positioning, from materials and detailing to storytelling and branding. The sense of luxury is embedded in every decision made throughout the design process. Introduced at a luxury event in Monaco, the HENK remains a trusted, high-performance suitcase relied on by travelers worldwide.
