collection of suitcases that can be combined for use as a cabinet in the
home. Called Tassenkast, the collection will be exhibited by Priveekollektie
of Heusden aan de Maas in the Netherlands. The cases are made of padded
fabric, wrapped around two wooden side panels. They can be hung from a
wooden bar using fabric straps with fastenings that match those on the bags.
More suitcases that can be combined to make furniture: Suited Case by Erik
De Nijs. Here¹s some more information from Lindeman:
Interiors nowadays are presented like stills, but in fact there is a lot of
mobility of objects, moving around by human needs.
Tassenkast blends traveling storage with furniture. A collection of
suitcases get a status as a cupboard in the interior.
Tassenkast plays on the edge of what we perceive as a fashion item and what
we perceive as an interior product.
From the 1st till the 5th of December 2009 Priveekollektie will join Design
Miami for the second time. During this renowned show the gallery will
present new work of Lotty Lindeman, among others.
Lotty Lindeman (1980) graduated Cum Laude at Design Academy Eindhoven, The
Netherlands three years ago and received several prizes. Since her
graduation her designs have been in the spotlights. During Design Miami her
latest handmade limited edition called OTassenkast¹ will be internationally
launched exclusively by Priveekollektie Contemporary Art Design.
With OTassenkast¹ Lindeman crosses the line between fashion item and
furniture. This limited design installation, consisting of several handmade
suitcases and bags, is multifunctional: the design concept as a whole
functions as a cabinet at home, and each piece individually can actually be
used as an exclusive handbag or suitcase. This unique concept is therefore
practical in daily use or while travelling, but at the same time playful and
fashionable when used as a furniture piece. Priveekollektie will present two
different limited versions of OTassenkast¹ at Design Miami, booth #3.
