Take a look at this suitcase design. Yes thats right, it is a suitcase. Ivorilla, a product design company from Frankfurt, was inspired by the 20 liter steel fuel containers known as jerrycans. The jerrycan originated in the 1940s and was primarily used by the military to store gas. These steel containers have been replaced by the plastic ones that we use today. Back to the design, the GasCase is available in a variety of colors and two different styles. The Diesel Edition opens like a traditional suitcase with the opening around the sides and The Fuel Edition has a top portion that opens like a Zippo lighter. This very durable design is made from sheet-steel with a telescoping aluminum handle and a butterfly lock. With the handle down the suitcase really does look like a gas container complete with the figures "20L" molded into the side. I really enjoy the irony of this design; Who would board a plane with a jerrycan of gasoline as their carry-on? I think the TSA might give a passenger's GasCase a double take.
