# Louvre-Worthy Luggage Suitcase Art Worth Taking Home by Michael Johansson By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-02-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-art References: [alittlebitweird](http://alittlebitweird.com/_blog/The_A_Little_Bit_Weird_Blog/post/Michael_Johansson_Is_Better_At_Packing_Than_You/) & [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org) Sometimes the intended use of an item restricts said item from fulfilling its artistic potential. I mean, I’m sure these [suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-luggage-collection) would have made for a fine protector of socks and boxers, but I really think [stackable suitcase art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunks-and-blocks) is their calling. Designed by Michael Johansson, the suitcase art is just one piece of the wonderfully stacked works of art by the artist. I just hope he can travel without feeling like he has to work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stackable Suitcase Art:** Opportunity for artists to transform suitcases into stackable works of art. - **Artistic Repurposing:** Potential for reimagining everyday items, like suitcases, as artistic masterpieces. - **Travel-inspired Art:** Emerging trend of creating art inspired by travel and luggage. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore new ways of transforming ordinary items into art forms. - **Travel and Tourism:** Opportunity for travel companies to collaborate with artists and incorporate unique travel-inspired art into their offerings. - **Retail and Fashion:** Potential for fashion retailers to incorporate suitcase art into their product offerings, providing customers with artistic and functional luggage options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Functional Furniture Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulley-luggage-trolley.md) - [Playful Sushi-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-suitcases.md) - [Bedside Table-Equipped Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-design.md) - [Chic Shadow Effect Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-of-the-light.md) - [Artistically Adorned Luggage Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf1.md) - [Pop-Up Closet Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moma-solgaard.md) - [Travel Trunk-Inspired Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-cabinet-of-curiosities-by-marc-newson.md) - [Closet-Equipped Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flightable-closet.md)
