The Five Wheels Suitcase

Traveling with two bags that weighed almost 25 kilos each, I ended up straining my arms so bad that I nursed sore muscles days after my arrival back home! First off, don’t judge – I’m a shopping freak, and secondly, damn you get affordable stuff in China! Oh well, it’s about time Samsonite or someone looked into this “Balance Wheel Carrier” design and see if we can really have an additional wheel added to the design– just to make dragging suitcases an easy job. Do tell!

Designers: Sung Ha Lim and Hee Kyung Oh
