RIMOWA is set to launch the ‘Original Cabin Optical’ in a limited edition of 2,002 units starting November 7th.
The groove design, first introduced in 1950, has been boldly reimagined with a geometric pattern that creates an optical illusion, making the iconic grooves appear to vanish. It is crafted in the Cologne, Germany factory using both brushed and unbrushed aluminum in an effective manner.
The interior features fabric lining and a Flex Divider system with an optical motif as well. Like other suitcases, it is equipped with features such as an adjustable telescopic handle, a multi-wheel system, and a TSA lock.
The limited sale of 2,002 units worldwide is symbolically chosen to reflect the infinity of the optical motif, implying the motif continues endlessly, as represented by the palindrome in the number.
The size is 55cm x 40cm x 23cm with a price of 323,400 yen (tax included). It will be available at select stores and online.
