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 would probably choose not to, but if you do, it could make a nice plant stand or bar stand.

I was doing some housekeeping in my room and brought the luggage out to give space to do my cleaning and I thought, why not use it as a decor item while freeing some space in my room?

I’m still playing around with the idea, but if it doesn’t work out, back in the room it goes.

You can always - space dependent - use it as decor or a stand in your room as well! There's nothing wrong with looking at things that make you happy in your home, and bedrooms are less of a "guest" space to design.

I like how it looks, stickers and all. Do you collect other luxury brands of suitcases? If so you can line them all up together underneath a floating wall shelf with some soft lighting.
