The Hanemaai Home Tool has been designed to explore the ideas of identity and necessity as an object that can be a [stationary shelf or used as luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/configurable-storage-system). Available in two sizes, the larger with compartments and backpack straps, the [curious suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-luggage-collection) have been manufactured from bent beechwood. The ribbon of material defines the depth of each and provides a sturdy structure with soft rounded corners. Black elastics that stretch across the frames serve to keep items inside of the Hanemaai 'My Infinite Home Tool.'
