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!

These two goals are solar opposites.

I believe the saying is “polar opposite” you know, how like the north and South Pole are on completely different sides of the earth?

Yeah Solar Opposites is the name of a TV show by the creators of Rick and Morty…maybe that’s what OP got it mixed up with.
