Formes utiles Workshop, with Jean-François Dingjian
"Porter / Transporter"
Samsonite 2008.
MAP is a cabin suitcase. It is also a wardrobe.
MAP is a answer to Samsonite’s light "week" suitcase. It is a portable enclosure that is filled vertically in three stages - just fill pockets - hook hangers on the handle - and finally flip it to close it.
MAP is never emptied since it is used as a home storage: you only need to sort out its content for the weekend. It allows, during a trip, various stops without the bag be messy. It facilitates accessibility to and visibility of the content.
MAP is a lightweight Samsonite. You do not store it when empty, but hang it. It is the only case that you never undo.
