Bahner started his career as a sculptor, known for figures in bronze and ceramics. Some of his works are exhibited at design museums such as the Danish Design Museum.
Later he moved towards silver and enamel jewelry, especially in what is characterized as guilloché enamel - a technique where patterns are engraved in the silver before the enamel is applied, which gives a shiny, deep effect.
In the period 1962–1988 he ran his own enamel jewelry company, registered as Volmer Bahner & Co., where he both designed and produced his modern, nature-inspired jewelry.
