Monuments of German design

Their appearance is unmistakable among all the black cases that take up so much room on the flights from Bonn to Berlin. Yet they can hold the documents for a whole Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Form follows function: The compartments of different depths make it easier to keep more and less important documents well-sorted. There are strong rubber bands on both sides, preventing anything from falling out. The space underneath hides away any cables. And the ring-file frame has a special pouch for my mini-notebook's folding keyboard.

It's very convenient: I don't need to carry anything. The pull-out handle is long enough even for people my height, 1.96 m. The rollers are big enough and amazingly quiet. In short: This case is the "Touareg" among rolling bags.
Jürgen Trittin, Federal Minister of the Environment.

Jürgen Trittin was given the case as a free gift for his business flights. During the so-called Miles & More affair, the Bild newspaper accused him of using free gifts he had received while on government business for his own private trips; since Trittin only takes the case along on business trips, these accusations were soon proved to be groundless.
