With 2023 marking its 125th anniversary, the German Maison celebrated with "SEIT 1898", an exhibition looking back on the cultural and technological forces that influenced its generational commitment to crafting distinctive tools for discerning travellers.
This retrospective comes at a fitting time to reflect on what it means to move. After an unprecedented pause in global travel, destinations have finally returned to our calendars. As we set our sights on what lies ahead, "SEIT 1898" considers the many departures of the past that still define the present.
The exhibition featured over 100 archive cases, telling the story through a careful selection from RIMOWA's extensive archive: experimental artistic partnerships, rarely-seen privately owned cases, collaborations with iconic brands, special purpose pieces, and items that mark milestone advancements. Making stops in Tokyo and New York before returning to Cologne, where it all began.
