Trunk-makers invented \u003cstrong\u003eflat trunks\u003c\/strong\u003e that could be stacked, reinforced with \u003cstrong\u003ewooden slats\u003c\/strong\u003e that protected the canvas or leather from handling shocks. Curved models allowed water to run off, but could not be stacked. To discourage prying eyes in holds and stations, locks became more sophisticated, and the \u003cstrong\u003ecombination padlock\u003c\/strong\u003e, with numbered dials, gradually became common on luggage in the 20th century: no more keys to lose, just a code to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eESCALE translates these two legacies into wood. The \u003cstrong\u003eslatted curved lid\u003c\/strong\u003e evokes the reinforcements of antique trunks, while the three dials reflect the logic of a combination lock: each dial rotates a notched disk, and the latch only gives way when all notches are aligned. The \u003cstrong\u003elaser-cut plywood\u003c\/strong\u003e, made of cross-layered plies, offers the stability needed for this adjusted mechanism, and the edge, darkened by the cutting process, creates the regular rhythm of the slats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"aa-title\"\u003eWhy ESCALE makes you want to travel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-ben\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eThe spirit of vintage luggage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003eTop handle and slatted lid recall trunks from great train and boat journeys.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e◆\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eA code all your own\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003eThree dials numbered 0 to 9, meaning a thousand combinations: the chest becomes a hiding place to open with the right code.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e➤\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eA mechanism to discover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003e72 pieces, about an hour of assembly: you can see how the lock secures the lid.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eA mini format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003e10.6 × 8.5 × 7.7 cm: it fits on a shelf, under the tree, or in a giant Advent calendar.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e◆\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eA treasure chest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003ePostcards, foreign coins, plane tickets: your travels finally have their own trunk.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aa-b\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"ic\"\u003e➤\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"tt\"\u003eEngraved Christmas décor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ds\"\u003eSnowflakes, gift packages, and reindeer laser-engraved on light plywood, assembled with no visible glue.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-des brun\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"t\"\u003eMemory luggage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"x\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey say a journey never truly ends: it continues in the objects you bring back.

Gardez les petites pièces hors de portée des moins de 3 ans.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Peut-on personnaliser la malle ?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Oui. Le contreplaqué clair accepte teinte, cire ou peinture. Teintez par exemple les lattes du couvercle plus foncé que la caisse pour un effet bagage ancien, ou dessinez des étiquettes de destinations. Appliquez les finitions avant assemblage, en couche très fine, surtout sur les molettes. Une cire incolore garde la teinte naturelle. Testez sur une chute.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e\n","brand":"Atelier Atypique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54860874383683,"sku":"1005012407121932-YA10","price":34.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0231\/3365\/0991\/files\/Sf3335c6972db4aacbcfe7849fd9f1705e.webp?v=1791060139","url":"https:\/\/atelier-atypique.co.uk\/products\/puzzle-3d-bois-malle-a-code-de-voyage-3-molettes-escale","provider":"Atelier Atypique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
