Lola Ilegems

This project is the result of an collaboration with Samsonite.

X O I is a futuristic luggage that is neurologically connected to the human body through an implanted jewel. When someone comes into contact with the luggage, signals are sent to the neurological jewel. XOI feels like an extension of the body. The controlling of the XOI is similar to the movement of an arm. It follows automatically through unconscious impulses.
We will launch the X O I in two phases, the preparation phase
and the acceptance phase.

In the first phase, the XOI luggage has an organic and sleek design with a simple zipper. The ear jewel is placed in the auricle. The simple yet aesthetic design ensures acceptable integration into society. The ear jewel is an accessory to visualize the neurological connection. The people who wear this ear jewel can define themselves as cyborg. In this way we prepare humanity for the merger of man and technology.

In the second phase, we represent the extension of the body in a symbolic way. As a result, a vertebra has been integrated into the XOI. The design of the jewel is more explicit because the trend has developed its own style. Cyborgism is the norm now.
