The 'City MAX' attaché case is a design by Michael Pfeiffer for MP Design, produced in West Germany around 1989. This rare object embodies the retro-futurism of the late twentieth century and stands out due to its distinctive octagonal geometric shape and pronounced grey-purple color scheme.
Crafted from robust plastic, this case reflects the innovative production techniques of the Space Age era. The design is equipped with the patented Handle Lock System, in which a combination lock is seamlessly integrated into the handle. On the exterior, there is a discreet, magnetically lockable compartment with a removable pouch. The interior features a neatly organized compartment system for documents and stationery, underscoring the functionality of this distinctive design.
This specific example is in collector's condition and is offered as New Old Stock. The case is unused and completely intact, including the original cardboard marketing wrapper with the slogan Catch the Future. Furthermore, all original paper documentation, brochures, and the unused alphabet stickers in the transparent inner compartment have been preserved, significantly enhancing its authenticity and collectible value.
As a distinctive statement piece, this case comes into its own perfectly in an eclectic or postmodern interior. The object functions not only as a practical laptop bag but also serves as a tangible piece of design history that enriches a collection of twentieth-century industrial design.
