Hasta La Ideas

Cologne 2011: young designer Anne Lorenz presented this storage chest modelled on an enormous handbag as part of [D3] Design Talents at imm cologne last week.

Called Home Traveller, the leather bag on legs is designed to be moved around without occupying a fixed place on the home.

imm cologne took place 18-23 January. See all our coverage of the event here »

Here’s a little bit of text from Lorenz:

Home Traveller was part of my graduation project at HFG Karlsruhe/Germany. It is a combination of a handbag and furniture – a play with those archetypes. The portable storage unit can easily be carried from one place to another and be arranged in the living space like an accessory. Instead of a normal furniture it has no fixed place in the room. It is as spacious like a chest but more flexible in the use.

Materials: Leather, wood.
