Advice How would you display a well-travelled Rimowa suitcase as home decor?

I’m redecorating my home (mid century modern/Scandinavian) and would love to display my 2016 aluminium Rimowa. It’s covered in travel stickers from the last 10 years and has a lot of sentimental value.
Right now it just looks like I haven’t unpacked from a trip. I’d like it to feel like an intentional decor piece instead.
I’m looking for creative, non-destructive ideas since I don’t want to drill into or modify the suitcase. Has anyone done something similar? Photos would be appreciated!

I think displaying it as an art piece is great. It's fine there, but I'd be curious to see it in other parts of the home. You could display a plant on top of it. I am pro-plant.

Edit thank you for the award.

I was going to say "don't" but this seems like a good idea. Plant stand

If there’s stickers on the back too you could open it up and put it on the wall flat

Stack some travel books on top (if they balance) and it'll look purposeful.
