They made their first swallow (boards), then attacked the ski market where the brand exploded by its hand-crafted manufacturing and veneered wood. Answering the new expectations of the ski freeride, they created what the industrial manufacturers did not, by realising that there is no compromise on materials choices, no compromise on spent time… the objective is clear, to aim for perfection: performance and aesthetics!

Bohême goes against the current. We live for love and wood, and we allow ourselves all that we wish for. We forget the stopwatch of life, the economy and its compromises, to build a handcrafted collection at the peak of perfection. It is voluntarily a “micro production “. Bohême only produce 1000 units a year, it is a way to guarantee authenticity, the quality of finish & delicacy which pushed to provide the extreme quality.

Here, machines did not replace people…

Bohême does not operate on volume targets. While respecting the products of our industrial “older brothers”, Bohême differs and is proud of it. Our craftsmen are not doing the same job, the authentic ski is their common value, and with all their expertise, they create different products for different customers who are not satisfied with the uniformity. Because riding is their passion; performance is their requirement and the aesthetics their lifestyle! Against the globalization, Bohême lives on passion and on freedom… Bohême has gradually moved from a confidential business to a production of skis on measure for the connoisseurs in more than 25 countries. Bohême is a philosophy, a state of mind, to choose to belong to this family it is little return to religion
