The Design File
A closer look at the people and places shaping design, from inspiring interiors to exceptional products, in an expert edit by Wallpaper* global design director Hugo Macdonald.
A riposte to packing light, a matching luggage set makes for a truly luxurious onward journey. All the more so when crafted by the world’s most storied brands – from Louis Vuitton’s timeless monogrammed trunks to the sleek industrial minimalism of Rimowa’s grooved aluminium suitcases (such is their lasting power, early versions of both have been in circulation for over a century).
Taken from the June 2023 Travel Issue of Wallpaper* (on international newsstands now), photographer Ivona Chrzastek and Wallpaper* fashion director Jason Hughes capture an array of luggage sets primed for your next departure. Among the mix are both perennial classics – briefcases, carry-ons, weekend bags – and unexpected luxuries, from a leather suit bag to a monogrammed hat box.
Each is photographed amid the rooms, hallways, and elevators of Sanderson London, the Philippe Starck-designed hotel that first opened on Berner Street in 1998. ‘I dedicate the Sanderson to mental games, optical illusions, to eccentricities, to dreams, to successful impossibilities,’ he said of its playful design.
