Ever since the suitcases got wheels, designers have been trying to create some out-of-the-ordinary suitcases for an elite group of people. Sure, wheeled suitcases and ergonomically correct bags make traveling easier, but what you really want is an inimitable, high-tech suitcase that speaks of your style in an unusual manner. Here, we have a few ‘strange, high-tech, and and interesting‘ suitcase designs, which you will find it to be a work of art more than just a suitcase. Check them out after the jump…
• Transforming Suitcases

A true James Bond fan surely needs the comforts of a home away from home. The concept behind the transforming suitcases designed by Igor Gurovich, Anna Naumova & Eric Belooussov is to provide you comfortable seating anywhere. The innovative luggage includes suitcase-turn-chair, suitcase-turn-bookcase and suitcase-turn-lamp.
• Chair Suitcase

Rather than cramming your empty suitcase into the closet, why not turn it into a functional chair? Here is yet another interesting suitcase dubbed Chair Suitcase that transforms into a chair when you feel like taking a break on the move. This is most likely a concept for now but, it would definitely set you back some good bucks when it comes for real.
• Live Luggage Motorized suitcase

Created by a small UK company called Live Luggage, the power-assisted case features special motors in each of its wheels that can make even 65 pounds worth of luggage feel as light as only 6.5 pounds. What’s even better is that the adjustable anti-gravity handle on the bags let the wheels bear over 85 percent of the weight which, coupled with the ‘force sensors’ make the motor move automatically who you’re not left placing all that stress on your back or arms. The best part about this design has got be the stunning motors that that run on a 12v NiMH battery that can last for about two hours and one and three-quarters of a mile on a single charge. Priced at $1,300.
• 80,000 Volt Electric Suitcase

Now, no one would ever dare to even touch your important belongings. Keep all your secret documents safe with this shocking suitcase, 80,000 volts to be exact. The electric shock alarm is activated at the push of a button via remote control. This security-minded $1080 European suitcase features a 107 db alarm that can be activated by simply pushing a button on the Remote control. When you push a second button you will activate the 80,000 volts electric shock alarm. Pity on the intruders!
• Fido luggage

Now, what say about a robotic suitcase? The Fido Luggage is a product concept from architect Peter Yeadon. It comes with voice recognition technology which helps identify the owner of the luggage. Once the bag’s owner starts with a watch-like controller, the suitcase is under his control and obeys voice commands. The bag’s wheels are each independently controlled for smooth travel in any direction, and laser sensors help it navigate rough pathways.
• Suitcase Bike

This one is unique and I really find it hard to believe my eyes. Straight from China, this is a suitcase-cum-bike. When this thing was shown as a concept, no one would have ever thought of it to get into production. But now, this bike suitcase has gone into production. A prototype of the bike was on display last week at the Canton Fair in China. The expected price is $399. I want one. So do you…right?
• HENK suitcase

If you want to carry your belongings in the just right James Bond style, you do need the HENK’s suitcase, which its manufacturer market as ‘no suitcase.’ Brainchild of Dutchman Henk van de Meene, the suitcase touts a carbon-fiber exterior very similar to the cockpit of a Formula 1 racecar. Stunningly, it features 500 separate component parts for a start, including 22 moving parts. Once you depress the ebony button on the handle and pull out the handle, two titanium wheels come into sight silently from the doors within the case. If you feel like sleeping on the trip but want your Henk not to be stolen by thieves, you can attach yourself to your suitcase with a Liquid Crystal Polymer anti-theft cable. Priced at US $22,093.
