[Luxury suitcase manufacturer Rimowa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-8) teamed up with NUOVA to create its first NFTs and the [Rimowa x NUOVA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-4) collab introduces a collection called Blueprints from the [Metaverse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monde-singulier-furniture). The collection reimagines reimagining airline memorabilia for the future and looks back on the brand's heritage from a design perspective. There are four futuristic items in the collection, including a food cart, a transparent speaker system, a lamp with a circular glass pane and a telescopic table. These retro-futuristic designs modernize vintage details for fresh styles that look to the years to come.

Later this month, the NFT pieces from the Rimowa x NUOVA collection are set to go up for auction on Rarible for just a short 24 hour period.
