Background


Before Airbnb had an Environments team, CEO Brian Chesky had a vision to somehow make their digital product physical. We proposed a series of 3D-printed models of the company's most exciting homes, embedded within bespoke suitcases that could be carried and displayed around the world.

From this project, the Airbnb Environments Team was born.
