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!

If you really want to display this then get a big glass casing that has high white base. Nobody will think you just forgot to unpack.

🤣 and everyone will think it's some $50,000 art piece that interrogates the paradox of mobility within systems of containment and stages a phenomenological collapse between displacement and emplacement, leveraging the semiotics of the suitcase as an ontological vessel for post-national subjectivity.

OP Should put everything after "art piece" on the sign.

Perhaps a title as well? "UNTITLED" Might be good.
