We've posted things that look like other things before, and this suitcase chair and ottoman are a great addition to the collection of ideas. The retro appeal of this design and the chosen upholstery adds to the intrigue...

Could this be the proper inspiration for a re-imagined Samsonite set? The design comes from the Turkish design collective, MayBeDesign. Via: NotCot.org.

I'd like it better if it truly started out as a suitcase that you could unpack into furniture.
