There have been a lot of wild and wooly furnishings designed to captivate consumer taste but these luggage furniture designs by Emmanuelle Legavre are simply brilliant. While they do not necessarily fall in line with pieces that you can take anywhere, the idea is quite cool for people who have old luggage bags stored or are ready to be thrown away.

The Les Valises carry boast of furniture images that carry that antique look, with reference to luggage that perhaps came out some centuries ago. But the result of turning these baggages churns out a neat and classy look that a home will surely welcome.

Either way, these pieces are the perfect solution for furniture and storage while adding oodles of interest. These items would be equally at home in a vintage industrial setting or a contemporary classic space.

Ideally this may sound like a different way to teach children associating their ABC’s with the standard characters we know of today. But if it works, it can help a child easily distinguish the various furniture designs and images that they normally see in their homes from beds to sofas.

As you are well aware, we spend a lot of time looking for great nursery decor, especially when it comes to alphabet posters. I think that this one by Italian graphic designer Francesco Dondina makes an interesting addition. A father of two, Dondina is also a professor of visual communication at the Design Faculty of the Politecnico in Milan. At $13, this gem is quite a steal.
