CHECK OUT OUR MAJOR ADVANTAGES!
Size and Dimensions
Strength and Stability
FUGU LUGGAGE is made from durable materials, which have proven to be strong enough to successfully pass an altitude crash test.
FUGU Shelves
FUGU LUGGAGE includes built-in shelves that can be attached or collapsed at any point. The shelves enable the suitcase to double as a storage unit, eliminating the need to unpack into a hotel closet and then later repack. The shelves have the added bonus of keeping your belongings neat and tidy throughout your journey.
Whether FUGU LUGGAGE is contracted or expanded, it is easy to open and comfortably add or remove your belongings.
FUGU Table
The FUGU LUGGAGE height and width make it ideal for use as a portable table, which can be utilized for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to a laptop stand, make up dresser, and reading desk.
FUGU Laptop Case
FUGU LUGGAGE comes with a removable laptop case, which can also double as a laptop stand. Our custom made case fits both into and on FUGU LUGGAGE, and can be used to store your laptop and personal items. This case provides you with the options of either keeping your personal belongings with you at all times, or storing your items with your checked-in bag under the plane.
FUGU Vacuum Bags
The same pump that inflates the walls of FUGU LUGGAGE can also deflate vacuum bags, making the use of vacuum bags extremely convenient for travelers by eliminating the need to carry an external pump with which to enable the use of vacuum bags.
Low Weight
The weight of FUGU LUGGAGE is not significantly different from the weight of the average suitcase. Despite the addition of the inflatable walls and the extra handle, the difference in overall weight is only a few hundred grams (less than a pound). When taking into account that the rest of the suitcase is made of plastic – the FUGU LUGGAGE suitcase is lighter than many standard cloth suitcases.
Movement
How FUGU Works
There are three ways to inflate the walls of FUGU LUGGAGE:
1. Pressing a button in order to activate the built-in electric pump
2. Externally attaching any regular air pump
3. Breathing into an external tube
2. Externally attaching any regular air pump
3. Breathing into an external tube
While the easiest way to expand and collapse the suitcase is the first option listed above, there are also other options available to modify the size of the suitcase that are all quick and easy to use.
Innovation
FUGU LUGGAGE was developed to solve the "suitcase dilemma", where our founders wanted to leave on a business trip and only needed to take a carry-on bag. However, needing to buy gifts for their loved ones at home they needed a full size check in bag for the return trip.
While searching for a solution to their dilemma, they noted that all suitcases on the market are essentially the same. They consequently gathered the FUGU team which researched the luggage market and was unable to find a quality suitcase that adequately adjusted itself to fit all travelers' needs. This lack of flexibility led the FUGU team to realize that the time had come to rethink how a suitcase should look and work.
During the initial stages of FUGU LUGGAGE development, the FUGU LUGGAGE team applied for a patent through Luzzatto & Luzzatto, one of the top Patent Attorneys in Israel.
Who Are We?
FUGU LUGGAGE is an innovative industrial design company that is currently putting all of its efforts into developing new products in the luggage industry. We believe that our suitcase represents a huge step forward within the world of luggage and traveling!
The idea for FUGU LUGGAGE came to Isaac Atlas in early 2013. He felt that there had to be a better way to travel, where travelers are not forced to make difficult decisions regarding packing space. With the help of Daniel Gindis and David Lifshitz, he developed FUGU LUGGAGE.
Together with Intovision, an industrial design company, FUGU LUGGAGE set out to revolutionize the world of travel. The staff consists of creative and professional engineers and designers. Everyone involved shares a love of travel, and a desire to save time, money and space while increasing consumer choice. Nothing gives the FUGU LUGGAGE team greater satisfaction than combining the things it loves most– travel, innovation and entrepreneurship.
What We Need
After more than a year of working really hard we finally have a fully functional working FUGU LUGGAGE prototype! As it's a new suitcase design, we are constantly looking for ways to enhance and improve its functions. Additionally, we are adding new features that we've thought of since the original prototype.
Your support will enable us to finish developing the product, create molds and fund the first round of production. Be a part of FUGU LUGGAGE's success - help make all our trips easier, more comfortable, and overall, much more enjoyable.
