It plays music, you can sit on it – it's a suitcase of course: TravelTeq's Trip Sound Suitcase

Bag Of Tricks (The Trip) from Travelteq on Vimeo.

Bored with the simple idea of suitcases which only help you carry stuff around, TravelTeq have reinvented the whole thing by creating a suitcase that plays music and can turn into a chair.

Since we have a history of covering weird suitcases on here, we thought it was only appropriate to explain further…

TravelTeq do nice but pricey luggage and their Trip range is their sci-fi line – in black nylon and aluminium. They sound like they’ve built in some serious sound-ware in there- it can play your iPod or MP3 player for 8 hours… and has some serious bass, apparently.

The sound system was also designed to function as a docking station, to charge small electronic devices such as your phone or mp3 player. It can even give your laptop a short power boost!

The chair bit is a little simpler – it’s has a kickback stand and you lean back on handle and hey presto – you’re sitting on your suitcase. So you might have been doing that anyway, but its supposed to happen to this suitcase.

It is very expensive though – 750 euros, which in this economic climate is a staggering 651 GBP. Yes, pretty much the cost of the holiday itself. It all depends how much you want your suitcase to play tunes from your iPod.
