Orishiki Suitcase designed by Naoki Kawamoto



Japanese product designer Naoki Kawamoto has deigned the traveling suitcase that can fold out flat for flexibility and compactability. "Orishiki" suitcase features a hard, faceted shell that folds in on itself to create a three dimensional luggage piece. Lined with a soft layer of patterned silk on the inside, the product features internet netting and belt, much like a conventional suitcase, to firmly hold its items in place.
"Orishiki is a hybrid Japanese word of my own invention. “Ori” refers to Origami folding paper art. “Shiki” comes from furoshiki which describes the use of a large handkerchief folded to provide endless functions such as carrying wine bottles or toys, or even wearing as an item of clothing. "
