The coming together of four centuries of consistency, heritage, design, and vibrancy can be found inside a 35 x 67 x 8 cm case, thanks to a collaboration between German luggage brand Rimowa and ninth-generation, family-owned Faber-Castell, founded in 1761. Inside the signature grooved aluminium shell of the limited-edition Rimowa x Faber-Castell Artist Case lies every art lover’s dream. Weighing 15 lbs, the Rimowa case features a dark green leather handle and houses a complete set of German-made drawing instruments. From sketch to color, the $3,100 artist case has you covered.
According to Wallpaper, this artist case featuring a series of 2B graphite pencils inspired by Rimowa’s signature grooved aluminum motif, 120 Polychromos color pencils, and a specially created Rimowa platinum-plated sharpener and eraser, this set provides everything you need, except perhaps paper and the talent to justify the supplies. The two-tier system unveils not just art supplies but also a rush of childhood nostalgia, and the thrill of turning bottled-up ideas into color, confronting the blank page, and making it less mundane.
Thanks to the easy-to-carry Rimowa x Faber-Castell Artist Case, art doesn’t have to be restricted to a studio, home, or office. Still, complete with aircraft-inspired aluminum grooves, polished corners, TSA locks, and platinum-plated accessories, this artsy companion costs nearly twice as much as the $1550 Rimowa Original cabin suitcase. Nor is it truly cabin-size, as at 67 cm along its longest edge, it exceeds the 55 cm height of Rimowa’s Cabin cases.
