Lost Luggage  3D printable luggage Janne Kyttanen,  a Finnish designer and creative director of 3D Systems, has vastly improved on the concept of luggage. He thinks we can just e-mail ourselves 3-D printable files of our stuff. If we go by his new project Lost Luggage, the era of suitcase-schlepping may soon be over.

�Imagine design is just data, and products could travel through the Internet as code, produced on demand at any location,� Kyttanen says in a video explaining the project. Now on view as part of Kyttanen solo exhibition at Galerie Vivid in Rotterdam, Lost Luggage is a 3-D printed platform bag that contains a selection of 10 items. The files for these products could be sent in an email and then printed out, all in one operation, once you arrive at your destination�unencumbered by traditional analog suitcases.

Included in this futuristic grab-bag is a pair of Mashup Shoes, rubber wedges Kyttanen designed last year. Then there the chain mail-like Le69 Handbag and 4-in-1 Dress, created in 2000 and considered the world first functional 3-D printed dress. Accessories include the elegant St. Tropez Cuff, Drivers, Fat Shades, and the Nooka watch.

Perhaps what most impressive about these high-tech designs is how flattering they are�each seamlessly blends fashion and cutting-edge technology, a union that many tech nerds fail to get right.

Kyttanen points out that this new approach to manufacturing could usher in not only an era of lighter traveling but a veritable revolution in how we produce and interact with all physical objects. �Will this localization of manufacturing eliminate the need for mass production?� he asks. Those are some far-reaching unintended consequences for 3-D printable luggage. �This future is already within our reach,� Kyttanen says.
