Compact Suitcases

Kompression Luggage

The Kompression Luggage by designer Gary Wilkinson utilizes seatbelt-like straps to compress its volume by almost 40%.

The luggage easily compresses and decompresses according to your needs, making it the perfect piece of luggage for check-in at airports.

The space saving process is done with eight elastic straps connected in the center panel. The design uses telescopic handles for easy transport, and an extra handle is kept under the base of suitcase to ease lifting.

Wilkinson created the design for Antler Luggage during his second year of University. However, due to technical difficulties the design was never taken forward to production. Too bad!
