Schlepping around heavy suitcases that are prone to being overweight and easily damaged can be a thing of the past with Lost Luggage by Janne Kyttanen, creative director of 3D Systems. It is a series of 3-D printable files that allow people to email themselves the essentials. It is comprised of 10 items including a chain mail-like Le69 Handbag and 4-in-1 Dress as well as accessories like an elegant St. Tropez Cuff, Drivers, Fat Shades and the Nooka watch.
An ingenious concept, to say the very least, Lost Luggage by Janne Kyttanen encourages people to reflect on how new technology can radically change everyday traditions that happen to be more of a nuisance than a blessing.
