On the occasion of the upcoming Milan Design Week, Rimowa is launching a special collaboration with Lehni, a brand that has long worked with some of the most important designers—from Max Bill to Ernst Gisel and Donald Judd—to create objects, furniture, and aluminum structures. The German premium luggage giant, known for its aluminum and polycarbonate products, has chosen to partner with the Swiss company to finally give its suitcases a home—objects that are nomadic by nature and constantly on the move.

“Together with Lehni, we have created bespoke pieces that merge our Swiss and German design roots, while celebrating our shared dedication to aluminum craftsmanship,” said Mathieu Plenier, Chief Marketing Officer of Rimowa.

The result is the Rimowa Lehni Visitor Center, a temporary space located at Via Achille Maiocchi 10, where two pieces will be presented: a bench and a cabinet featuring a drawer and two shelves, both made of anodized aluminum in black and silver finishes. These pieces are designed to hold Rimowa suitcases and accessories without concealing them, instead framing them within a dedicated space—almost as if they were objects to be displayed.

In true Lehni style, the furniture does not hide bolts and other technical components, but rather highlights them, showcasing extremely precise cuts and folds at the joints. A felt mat also allows the suitcases to be placed without scratching the surface, underscoring the shared attention to detail that defines both brands.

Alongside the furniture, within the Fuorisalone installation, the space will be enriched by objects and a selection of books curated by Innen Publishing, creating a path designed to offer a visual and narrative pause amid the flow of Design Week. One corner will be dedicated to sending postcards—a nostalgic gesture that evokes the more personal and emotional side of travel, long central to Rimowa’s imagery. Meanwhile, the flagship store will remain open, featuring a refreshed layout and a window display designed by Studioutte.
