About S1 20 Inch Cabin 모듈형 탄소섬유 여행가방은

대부분의 사람들은 여행할 때 운동 루틴을 유지하거나 비오는 날에 대비하기 위해 여분의 신발을 가지고 다녀야 합니다. 하지만 모든 일반 여행가방에는 특정한 신발 수납공간이 없습니다. 그래서 사람들은 다른 물건으로 신발을 짜낼 수밖에 없습니다. S1에는 여행 중에 신발을 좋은 상태로 유지할 수 있는 신발 수납공간이 함께 제공되며, 신발을 다른 물건과 분리하여 물건을 깨끗하고 정리된 상태로 유지하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한 S1은 모듈식이므로 제공된 도구를 사용하여 쉽게 수리할 수 있습니다.

Unique Properties: S1 20 Inch Cabin represents innovation by solving the problem that suitcases can’t be repaired by customers themselves. The modular design allows customers to replace and fix the damaged wheels, shells, and other parts with provided tools instead of throwing the suitcase away.
In addition, the specific shoe compartment makes shoe packing effortless and hygienic and keeps those shoes in good condition along the journey. And molecular recycling technology is applied to make recyclable carbon fiber composite materials and circular technology to promote sustainable design so that a closed loop production system is possible.

Production Technology: S1 has a hard shell made of magnesium alloy and covered by carbon fiber with a water- and dust-resistant shoe compartment. The suitcase will be assembled by hand piece by piece, like cars. The telescopic handle is made using metal. And its modular structure allows for easy repair and replacement.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenges we encountered were how to make the suitcase modular to the greatest extent and how to combine different materials seamlessly. We had to ensure that those parts are tightly fixed together and can be easily removable and replaced. We spent a lot of time and effort working with other companies to develop molecular recycling technology to create recyclable carbon fiber. And we tried many processes to reduce the weight of the metal frame without compromising durability.
Research: Some of our designers and product managers are regular business travelers. They noticed that most luggage nowadays look and work alike. And if a small part is damaged, the luggage becomes useless, which is definitely not good for the environment and doesn’t meet people’s demand for a sustainable lifestyle. So they visited some luggage factories, did tons of marketing research, and came up with modular luggage.
Inspiration: The pandemic has caused dramatic changes in our lives, and we will have to continue to adapt to the turbulent changes. The transparent window design of the shoe compartment is inspired by the space capsule; in the boundless universe, the pace of human exploration will never stop. We want to use the "space capsule" element to encourage or remind people to try new things and look further ahead.
Project Duration: The project was conceptualized in 2022 and the initial product prototype was made in October 2022; it will be launched in 2023.
Operation Flow: S1 has separate compartments including a shoe compartment that keeps your shoes in good condition and allows you to conveniently change shoes during the trip. Every external shell, lining, and all wheels are detachable for easy repair or replacement. The interior folio holds your laptop or tablet and can be quickly taken out for security checks. The TSA lock ensures that your belongings are safe. There are three tucked-in and flushed pull handles to support easy lifting anytime.
