The Pile of Suitcases is part of the Leather Collection, conceived exclusively for gallery Nilufar. All pieces of this series are made in
a close collaboration with one of the most renowned leather artisans in
Brussels, Ralph Baggaley. The craftsmanship and detailing is simply sublime and
calls for instant admiration. These pieces, though colourful and playful, evoke
luxurious and sophisticated atmospheres, but at the same time they carry the
dynamic vibe of modern nomads, that travel trough cities and continents without
restrictions or boundaries.
The Pile of Suitcases wanted to be an answer to all its predecessors, wardrobe closets
which were enormously big, heavy and static. It is a highly dynamic clothing cabinet rich in
poetry, which consists of different volumes, each specifically designed for one
type of garments, which can easily be dismantled, separately transported or
reconfigured if desired.
