Arriving at a hotel or destination when traveling and unpacking has become a tradition of the past for many, so this suitcase design has been conceptualized by Mark Michell as a way to offer an alternative.
The suitcase is characterized by its ability to function as a way to carry personal essentials between locations, but also continues functioning upon arrival at a destination. The suitcase can be positioned next to the bed where it will work as a bedside table with space for storing items and even a light for reading.
The suitcase design also accommodates the need to power up essential technology products and boasts a dedicated section for a power bank. A built-in cord keeper will ensure the cable is always within reach.
