Editorial StaffInspired by people who are forced to wait at airports and train stations during their trip, this clever 4-piece suitcase set can be pieced together to build a two-seater couch.
Twenty-two year old Dutch designer Erik de Nijs (the guy who brought us the keyboard pants), revealed his “Suited Case” project at Dutch Design Week 09 last month. He says “this concept came from a research on nostalgia during travelling. When a familiar object from home is taken with you on a trip you feel much more at ease. And which object is more familiar then your own comfortable couch.” Brilliant idea with a few practical looking pieces for a nice airport nap. Shame about the fabrics!
Excellent! What’s wrong with the fabric? It’s the doty combination that makes it fun.
