At a collective exhibition showing at
Ventura Lambrate this week, designers were asked, "If you had to envisage life on some other habitable planet other than Earth, what kind of minimal hand luggage would you take with you?"
The resulting items are exhibited in a series of suitcases that range
from
Tomas Alonso's functional box of hand tools to more sentimental
pieces that serve as a memory of home, such as
Formafantasma's vase made
from natural polymers.
Called Another Terra / Home Away from Home, the concept was inspired by
the recent discovery of Kepler-22b, a planet which was found last year by NASA
orbiting around a star similar to the sun over 600 light years away.
Participating designers include Tomás Alonso,
BCSXY, Formafantasma,
Jo Meesters,
Pieke Bergmans,
Julien Carrettero,
Maarten De Ceulaer,
Lanzavecchia+Wai,
Tomáš Gabzdil Libertiny,
Pepe Heykoop,
