Valextra has announced the second edition of its Vocabolario project in partnership with Venice-based design studio Zaven.
Set to debut at Salone del Mobile 2025, the collaboration introduces the Costa 70 + Zaven suitcase, a limited-edition design piece that blends architectural sculpture with mobility.
The Costa 70 + Zavensuitcase is inspired by Valextra’s archival Costa collection and reimagined by Zaven founders Enrica Cavarzan and Marco Zavagno. The piece contains abstract components that can be assembled into various sculptural configurations, making it both a collector’s item and a conceptual object.
To accompany the launch, Zaven has designed an installation at Valextra’s Via Manzoni store in Milan. The display, created from foam and elastic resin, reflects the forms and textures of the new suitcase while highlighting the project’s emphasis on interaction and modularity.
Valextra CEO Xavier Rougeaux described the collaboration as “a dynamic, artistic piece that blends sculpture with architectural design and movement”.
To commemorate the project, Valextra is releasing a numbered edition of two signature bags: the Iside Resin Tint Mini and the Milano Resin Tint Mini. Both feature moulded resin closures and are crafted from the brand’s signature Millepunte leather.
