Passengers rest during airport delays
The Luggage That Turns Into A Couch
THE LUGGAGE THAT TURNS INTO A COUCH
Flight delayed five hours, all departure lounge seats taken, it's a nightmare many people have to endure.
But hanging around the airport might get a little easier thanks to a luggage set that transforms into a COUCH.
The suitcase collection is composed of three attractive suitcases and one backpack.
But when slotted together they become a trendy sofa on which to while away transport delays.
Dutch designer Erik De Nijs, 24, explains: "The 'suited case' is a project which is inspired by the idea of people waiting during their trip.
"People often go and rest sitting on their suitcases, that is the starting point of this design, so I created a living room couch.
"When a familiar object from home is taken with you on a trip you feel much more at ease.
"And which object is more familiar then your own comfortable couch."
Erik, part of design duo Nieuwe Heren, says he is now looking for a company to bring his design to market.
