ENSO

Built to return

Winner in category Consumer Goods

ENSO is a modular, repairable suitcase system designed for a circular economy. Its special feature is systemic modularity, allowing components to be easily taken apart for repair, resizing, or end-of-life recovery of its three separable materials. Combined with a digital material passport for transparency, ENSO extends product lifespan and reduces waste, making sustainable travel practical.

The topic of luggage and suitcases has been reimagined in a visionary way. With “ENSO“, this has resulted not only in a modular, repairable suitcase system, but also one that focuses on the individual needs of travelers: the sizes of the suitcases can be adjusted to the users’ specific requirements.
