Usefulls (Nomad 23)

Usefulls builds modular furniture-luggage, starting with the Nomad 23: a standard 23 kg checked suitcase that physically converts into a twin-door wardrobe cabinet. Removing the wheels reveals circular bumps on the base that seat into grooves on top of another case, letting multiple units stack into a full-size modular wardrobe. The founders are seeking feedback on the concept, the physical design, and their approach to modular furniture/luggage.
