Having recently backpacked across Europe, I’ve discovered that, yes, sitting on your lumpy luggage is a necessity at times, so the Nieuwe Heren Suited Case is definitely a welcomed alternative. Combining into a comfortable sofa for two, it’s like traveling with your own personal living room.
Designer Erik De Nijs seemed to be thinking beyond comfort when he created the Nieuwe Heren Suited Case. He explains, “When a familiar object from home is taken with you on a trip you feel much more at ease.” I just wish I had had this luggage on my trip.
