Exploring how travel shapes us

Every Dent Tells a Story

Rimowa

Rimowa were looking to be at the forefront of culture, reach new discerning travellers or put simply be the most interesting person in the room. One of the really interesting product truths is that an aluminium Rimowa gets better with age – the bumps are almost an indicator of how far you have travelled.

As part of their Never Still campaign platform, we created Every Dent Tells a Story – highlighting the stories of New York nomads Rujeko Hockley co-curator of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Robert Hammond founder of the High Line, and urban farmer Wen-Jay Ying.

My parents were essentially residents of the world, and I picked that up from them. I’m always opting for a path that other people aren’t taking Wen–Jay Ying

The idea here was if you had something old you tore it down and built something new. But I saw different thinking in Europe, in Asia, of how you find those layers of history and reuse these pieces of the past Robert Hammond

On a conceptual level, on a macro level, it's enabled me to think very broadly and to be comfortable with difference, and comfortable with holding even conflicting ideas at the same time  Rujeko Hockley
