CONCEPT
Adriano’s photography and writing is heavily influenced by his travels. By interpreting luggage as drawers, we can create a unique look that creatively solves his storage needs. Secret compartments add to the mystery of the design, and certain areas allow for the showcase of specific objects such as his typewriter and favorite bottle of whiskey.
