I have been to casual events where guests have been asked to bring their own chair. Perhaps, next time I'll take a cue from these great luggage conversions and tote my seat in style.


Upcycle bulky, old luggage into fabulously fun chairs. Brilliant! Particularly appealing in a child's room, the suitcase chair (above) is by South African designer Katie Thompson.


Thompson adds tufting for a nice finishing touch to the upholstered trunk seating. Images are two of her great reuse projects for well-worn suitcases.

Thompson's upcycling artistry retains the unique character of the original suitcase while upcycling creates an electic combination of styles and finishes on each chair.

Dear Katie Thompson, you have inspired me!
