RIMOWA is not a simple company that produces aluminum suitcases.
Over the years it has broadened its horizons becoming a true patron, in fact the German brand diversifies its collaborations more and more often focusing on cinema and art.

“As Been By” is the art exhibition conceived and organized by RIMOWA in collaboration with the art collective The Community. The project, started before the outbreak of the pandemic, aims to support art as a whole and for the occasion, the German company commissioned a series of emerging artists to create works of art using aluminum – the main material of RIMOWA products used since 1937 – and various spare parts of the suitcases produced by the brand. 
The result of this work is currently on display in Paris at the Dover Street Market concept store, a sort of mix between a boutique and a museum. 

Among the many international artists who have participated in the project are Quentin Vuong, Atelier Sohn, Irina Lotarevich and many others, all chosen for their distinctive aesthetics and the craftsmanship they express with their works.

The “As Been By” exhibition is currently on view in Paris and will remain so until tomorrow when it begins a tour that will take the artists’ work around the world.
