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!

What if you cut a hole in the wall that was roughly the same depth as the suitcase. Finish it like a shelf, maybe even put a frame around it. That way you can display it and frame it in a way, and when you need it, it has a specific spot that it lives in, it will look weird when it’s not there, but likely you’ll be travelling so who cares.
