Vitaly Grossmann Makes the Case for Rimowa

Hamburg-based CD Vitaly Grossmann, whose standout CG work we track here, teams with Paris industrial design studio Unknown, Untitled on a series of three films for German luxury luggage brand Rimowa.

Vitaly Grossmann: “Tasked with envisioning the future of travel, Unknown, Untitled designed three groundbreaking suitcase concepts, each reimagining the brand’s existing ranges. Our task was to bring these visionary designs to life through cinematic and elegant films, showcasing the beauty and functionality of each suitcase in a simple, yet striking manner.

“I developed a three-part narrative for each suitcase, designed to highlight both its emotional and functional aspects. The journey begins with mood-driven elements that evoke the feeling of travel, setting the tone for each case.

“Next, I focused on the craftsmanship and key construction features that make each suitcase unique. Finally, the story culminates in a captivating visualization that showcases the beauty of the design, emphasizing its functionality and innovative features.”
