Transforming Suitcase is Cool, I guess, But Not Practical

This suitcase has been making the rounds on all the blogs out there, but I figured it was still worth a late mention on Gadling if not for the fact that it’s the most useless travel-related “product” ever. It’s not even a product (thankfully) in that you can’t actually purchase it — but this is probably a good thing.

Essentially it’s your garden-variety suitcase with a twist: it transforms into a chair. This would be really, really cool if you were able to convert to chair form without dumping out the contents of your suitcase onto the ground. It just isn’t practical. But this is “art,” I guess, which is what they start calling creative products that fall short of mass appeal due to a severe case of inefficaciousness.

If you’re stuck on travel-related things that transforms from one thing into another, check out this luggage cart that doubles as a laptop table. Now that’s handy. [via]
