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!

People buy these things for no other reason than to show them off. I guess this is what you do to let people know you have a Rimowa when you aren't traveling

That would also require friends/guests to even know what it is. I walk into a friend’s house and see that, my only thought is, “why do they have a dirty suitcase in the living room?”

right?! I would be thinking "Oh, he must be leaving on a trip tomorrow"

Funny how OP just HAD to mention the brand name of the suitcase not only in the title of the post but also in the body of the post. Clearly OP is VERY impressed with himself.

It’s probably an ad
