小行李箱不够装？大行李箱既笨重又不方便？看着家里大大小小的行李箱，是不是想着“要是有一个可大可小的行李箱就好了”呢？Daniel Gindis和Isaac Atlas在旅行准备的过程中也时常遇到这样的问题，于是俩人和其团队一起发明了FUGU旅行箱。听完他们的介绍，大家肯定也会跟小编一样想要一个这样的梦幻行李箱！
Suitcase That Suits Your Case
Daniel Gindis （Inventor & Head of Business Development）： We all have our reasons to travel， whether to visit family， tour the world or go on that important business trip. And for all of these we’re left with one 1）eternal dilemma： Should I take the 2）carry-on or the full-size suitcase？
Hi， I’m Daniel. I’m in charge of user experience and Head of Business Development at 3）Fugu Luggage. I’ve worked on many projects before， but the convenience this brings to travel makes Fugu probably the best thing I’ve ever worked on.
Isaac Atlas （Inventor & Founder of Fugu Luggage）： The idea for Fugu came from my wife. She kept telling me that I’d need a larger suitcase to [sic] my travels， and I kept stubbornly saying carry-on is enough. Obviously she was right， but instead of admitting that to her， I invented Fugu Luggage.
Daniel： Fugu Luggage is the only suitcase that can change its size from the maximal carry-on to the largest check-in. It’s sort of like the fugu fish， and expands by 4）inflating the 5）sidewalls with air pressure through a 6）built-in electric 7）pump.
Isaac： When we started working with the lab， one of our main challenges was making it both strong and low weight. As you can see， it’s pretty strong. The side’s made of a 8）drop stitch technology， the same material used to make surf boards. You can literally throw it against the wall. We also have 9）shockabsorbing walls to protect your stuff after you throw it against the wall.
Daniel： When Isaac—this guy—approached me about joining business development， he asked me，“Daniel， if you could get the perfect suitcase， what would you want in it？” And I told him， “Dude， I’d want everything. I’d want this to be the 10）Mary Poppins’ bag of suitcases that can hold anything， and also be a closet， a table and a bunch of other stuff.” And in the end， after a lot of brainstorming， that’s pretty much what we did.
The Fugu shelves are one of the most essential functions of our suitcase. It’s organized， and you can put on a lot of things from clothing to souvenirs， and even stuff that you’re hanging up. You don’t have to use this function， but if you’re gonna be living out of your suitcase， why shouldn’t it be organized like a closet？ One of the best features of the Fugu is its unique height and width， that gives us a convenient 11）makeshift table that we can use anywhere on the go， from emergency laptop stand to make-up dresser. The Fugu Luggage laptop case is unique in that it fits both in and on the suitcase， and is built specifically to do so. You can pull the suitcase right up to check-in， pull the laptop case right out and move on.
We also have a wide array of colours to choose from， and “omni-wheels” built for additional mobility and freedom to let you move with maximum ease.
The suitcase industry hasn’t changed for over 30 years， and leaves us with too rigid choices and no flexibility. Fugu Luggage leaves your options open， and saves you the time you’d spend standing in line and the money each time you don’t have a check-in’s worth of luggage.
A high quality suitcase， carry-on and laptop case can easily cost $400. We mean for our suitcase to be at least $100 less and have all of those features…
Issac： …in one convenient package.
丹尼尔·根迪斯（“充气鱼”旅行箱发明人、业务发展部主管）：由于各种原因，我们常常需要外出长途旅行，有时是去走亲访友，有时是到国外旅游，有时则是去出趟重要的差。只要是旅行，我们总得面对那个永恒的难题：到底是该带个便携手提箱呢，还是拖个大号行李箱？
嗨！我是丹尼尔，负责“充气鱼”旅行箱的用户体验这一块儿，也是业务发展部主管。之前我也做过不少项目，但是方便旅行的“充气鱼”让我觉得这可能是我做过的最棒的项目了。
艾萨克·阿特拉斯（“充气鱼”旅行箱发明人、项目发起人）：是我的妻子让我起了设计这款旅行箱的念头。她老念叨着我需要一只更大的行李箱，但我总固执地说手提箱就够用了。显然，我妻子说得对。但我没向她承认过这一点，而是发明了“充气鱼”旅行箱。
丹尼尔：在所有行李箱中，只有“充气鱼”能从最大号的手提箱大小调节到最大号的托运行李箱尺寸。就像河鲀一样，我们的旅行箱也能通过内置电泵给侧壁充气加压，慢慢变大。
艾萨克：我们在实验之初遇到的一大挑战就是如何把箱子做得既牢固又轻巧。如你所见，这箱子很坚固。箱子的侧壁采用了空针技术，其材质与冲浪板所用的相同。你可以把它实实在在地往墙上砸，而当箱子撞上墙的时候，它的减震侧壁可以保护好里面的物品。
丹尼尔：艾萨克——就是这个家伙——来找我加入业务发展部的时候，他问：“丹尼尔，如果你有个完美的旅行箱，你想往里面装哪些东西？”我说：“哥们，我什么都想往里装。我希望它就像玛丽·波平斯用的那只要啥有啥的手提袋一样，什么都装得下，既能当衣橱又能作桌子，有一大堆功能。”最后，经过多次头脑风暴，我们的箱子基本实现了这些功能。
“充气鱼”旅行箱内置的架子是这款箱子最重要的功能之一。它能有序归置你的东西。这架子可以用来摆放很多东西，比如衣物或纪念品，你甚至可以往上挂东西。这不是什么必备功能，但既然你即将要拎着行李箱过一段漂泊的日子，干嘛不让它变得像衣柜一样井井有条呢？“充气鱼”旅行箱的一大特色是这箱子独特的高度和宽度，这让它可以随时随地变成一张方便的临时小桌子，随意变身为应急笔记本电脑支架和梳妆台等等。
“充气鱼”旅行箱笔记本包的独特之处在于它既能放入箱子也能拿出箱外，这是我们的特别设计。你可以直接拖着箱子去办理登机手续，然后把笔记本包拿出来，即可直接通行。
我们的箱子有多种颜色可供选择，并且装有“万向轮”，转动十分灵活顺滑，让你在出行时享受最大程度的舒适便捷。
行李箱行业的发展三十多年来停滞不前，留给我们的选择空间很小，灵活性不大。“充气鱼”旅行箱则为你带来了更多选择。当你只携带少量行李时，它还能免去你排队等候办理托运的时间、省下不必要的托运花费。
质量好的行李箱、手提箱、笔记本电脑包加起来少说都得要400美元。“充气鱼”旅行箱的预售价至少要比这个便宜100美元，而且集所有这些用处……
艾萨克：……于一箱。
