The shell is created through a series of stamping and laser-cutting processes. This stamping process allows aluminum sheets to be shaped whilst retaining the rounded curves that form the signature features of the Horizon suitcase.
The final stage of the stamping process involves creating embossed patterns in the aluminum to reinforce the case’ s structural rigidity. One of the technical challenges lies in embossing the Monogram motif instead of the usual grooves typically found on this type of case. More than simply a signature feature, the Monogram thus becomes a key structural element.
True to his minimalist aesthetic, Marc Newson then set about making mechanical components such as rivets and hinges invisible, as these would detract from the Horizon’ s clean lines.
A true technical feat, to preserve the purity of the design, traditional rivets have been replaced by an ultra-thin frame system attached to the shell. This concept of shells crafted from a single-piece, fulldepth 3D mould, with no folding or riveting, is a first in luggage design.

Traditional external hinges have been replaced by innovative concealed hinges. Similar to an elegant watch mechanism, this new type of hinge is now integrated into the interior of the suitcase without taking up any additional space.
Built to travel in all conditions and withstand any challenge, the Horizon Aluminum offers exceptional resistance to impact, yet bears any dents and scratches as cherished souvenirs, acquired during its travel adventures.
Another hallmark of excellence is the optimised interior capacity, designed to accommodate essentials and personal belongings. The Trolley system is located on the outside of the case, and the interior lining is thermoformed to create a perfectly flat main compartment,
providing unrivalled capacity compared to other products on the market. The main compartment features two retaining straps, whilst the zipped upper compartment also houses a zipped pocket.
The innovative extra-wide telescopic handle provides exceptional grip and outstanding ease of rolling. The enlarged wheels, crafted from a flexible material,
