A travel kit created especially for Design Week based on personal needs and desires to feel close to one’s hometown. Is it a dream? No, it is the project of the students of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, who imagine the perfect exhibitor’s travel luggage from a Latin American perspective. An entire collection made of Tyvek that also includes:
→ An outfit designed to optimize clothing storage space by wearing items on the body during travel, freeing up suitcase space for the exhibition.
→ A trench coat that protects from Milan’s rainy weather during the design week and can transform into a temporary shelter in case of lodging in a privacy-challenged space.
→ An ultralight modular exhibition furniture system that provides independent infrastructure and can be stored in a suitcase.
→ Multi-purpose modular panels serving as printed canvases, protective covers for fragile material, and ergonomic support for designers during travel, emphasizing traveler health.
→ An expandable bag not only functional for carrying exhibition setup material but also revealing hidden projects “smuggled” in the inner lining visible only through color filters.
→ A collapsible mannequin utilizing the “Latin improvisation” to take shape with everyday materials, such as party balloons.
→ Pockets, toiletry bags, and envelopes storing strategic tools for an optimized travel experience, including rationing toothpaste, personal hygiene items, navigation tools, or even business cards for networking dynamics.
