- RIMOWA and Vitra have crafted what might be the most aesthetic storage solution/loungeroom feature to date.
- The powerhouses united for a two-piece collection that includes a sitting stool version of RIMOWA’s iconic aluminium travel trunk plus a toolbox.
- The RIMOWA x Vitra mobile stool is priced at $3,920, while the toolbox will set you back around $960.
RIMOWA‘s iconic aluminium grooves have taken a slightly different shape thanks to its collaboration with Swiss family-owned furniture company Vitra.
The two key pieces, which “merge industrial precision with domestic ease,” include a wheelable stool echoing RIMOWA’s traditional mobile pieces. The toolbox, on the other hand, is directly inspired by Vitra’s style, with its original silhouette designed by Arik Levy in 2010.
The stool enables RIMOWA’s classic design whilst embedding luxury into the domestic space, providing both storage and seating.
Its square structure is topped with a detachable seat cushion upholstered with Vitra’s eco-friendly Laser RE recycled fabric. The outside closure system is topped with a leather strap that slides into an aluminium hook; whereas the interior matches the exterior colourway, housing mobile leather dividers to enhance storage options and a lining identical to the cushion.

The toolbox, revised with an anodised aluminium casing, has been designed to fit perfectly within the stool’s storage system. It shares the same fabric, with the recycled materials nodding to Levy’s history of sustainability. The handle divides the low-sided, rectangular construction into two separate compartments.
RIMOWA even offers its unique customisation for homeware with a sticker collection based on this collaboration with Vitra.

The reinvented household objects slash luggage seating come in three distinct colourways: emerald green, ice blue, and papyrus brown. RIMOWA and Vitra’s fusion of staple designs comes in a limited run of 1,000 stools and just 100 toolboxes.
