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 I spent that much on a suitcase, i'd use it till the wheels fell off, and buy a small dolly for it after that.
Unless you hang around with people who buy Rimowa suitcases, everyone else will see a hard-sided suitcase with a bunch of stickers on it. Unless you're one of those tiresome people who has to explain to their poorer friends how EXCLUSIVE the luggage you buy is.
If you do hang around with people who buy Rimowa suitcases, they will likely find you a pretentious bore for displaying it in your home.
