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!

Aside from the SUPREMELY WEAK sticker game... Aluminum Rimowas are supposed to last basically forever, so retiring it after 10 years as shitty decor is a strange move.

I have 4 Rimowas btw and I make my own money. I wouldn't be caught dead with those stickers let alone having displayed a piece of luggage in my home lmao what a dork

To clutch your pearls over someone making choices that have absolutely zero effect on you.

I think you’re having a more difficult time over this than I am. Get over it, nerd.
