The Oceano trunk has been created by famed French designer Andrée Putman for Italian furniture brand Poltrona Frau. The naval theme, reflected in the name of the product, hints on the aesthetic of old-timey luxury cruises and elegant luggage, associated with them. The trunk, designed to hold clothing and accessories, is not strictly a luggage item, but its mobility and compactness can come handy in today’s nomad living. The frame of the piece is made of multilayer birch. The interior houses a rich mosaic of drawers in all sizes, made from MDF with textured, non-scratch paint in milk color. Hidden away inside the trunk there is also a folding mini-desk with a removable padded pouf. Everything a person needs to get dressed and beautified in style. And when on the move – simply close the trunk for easy transport and storage.
