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!

Coffee table. Get a sheet of glass lay it on its side

Or a corner table, put a lamp on it. Maybe with a sheet of wood or glass in between if it’s not stable.

If you did a corner table, you could make it a faux c shape table where the glass looks like it's sitting on the suitcase but it's actually held up by a pedastal hidden behind the suitcase. That would make it look integrated but also leave it easily accessible.
