When it comes to holidays how many times did you have to decide what to leave behind? Isn’t this the hardest time especially when you run out of space and see yourself obliged to make a choice? Finally we always get the things we like the most and perhaps it’s a great idea to show them in public as well. Jolien Hanemaaijer has the best solution for you with My Infinite Home Tool.
Two portable objects for storage, that have the double function of a suitcase and a show display. You carry them with you or put them down as cabinets. They transport what you need and show what you have chosen to take with you. This project started from the designer’s personal experience of extensive traveling and having to live out of one suitcase. Choices had to be made about what to bring and what to leave behind. While making these choices was hard it also made it possible to get rid of unnecessary things. The important and good items that you decide to bring are the objects that define your identity.
Materials: Beech, leather, metal and elastic bands
