MINIMAL NORDIC DESIGN TRAVEL BEAUTY CASE BY NUORI

The getaway travel set with two minimal beauty cases by NUORI combines the perfect blend of Scandinavian design, conscious materials, and a premium feel. It is just as beautiful to store cosmetics in at home, as it is to take with you on travels (when we can do so).

The solid bag can be used as a cosmetic bag, while the transparent case doubles as an internationally approved air travel liquids container which is handy. A classic beauty case reimagined for the modern traveler. The bag is made of high-quality vegan leather that is highly durable and is very easy to maintain. Available in four signature shades: neutral, rose (as seen in these photos), ocean, and black.

Scandinavian Design: The Ultimate Guide to this Nordic Trend

Scandinavian design has been a staple of modern design for decades, but what exactly is it?

Well, in brief, Scandinavian design is a design movement that originated in the Nordic countries and which is known for its simplicity, functionality, and natural materials, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the home. 

But that’s not all there is to it. If you’re looking to learn more about this enduring design trend and how it has influenced various industries, you won’t want to miss what I have to say. 

So, what makes Scandinavian design so special? Keep reading to find out!

Table of Contents

What is Scandinavian design?

Scandinavian design is a design movement that originated in the Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland in the mid-20th century. It’s characterized by a minimalist, functional, and simple approach to design, with an emphasis on high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

Are you a fan of sleek and modern design? Then this one’s for you. After all, Scandinavian design is often associated with the principles of form follows function and the use of light, which are reflected in the design of furniture, lighting, textiles, and other objects.

This design movement has gained popularity over the years for its timeless and eco-friendly nature that blends seamlessly with a variety of design styles. And it’s not just limited to furniture and interior design, as its influence can be seen in fashion and graphic design as well.

If you’re looking to incorporate Scandinavian design into your own space, think natural materials, neutral color palettes, and decluttered spaces that create a calming and peaceful atmosphere. 

Historical background of Scandinavian design

This design movement emerged in the mid-20th century in response to the growing population and changing lifestyles of the Nordic countries. It emphasized functionalism, simplicity, and affordability, with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and modern design principles.

So if you’re into modern design, you need to know about the fascinating historical background of Scandinavian design! 

One of the key influences on Scandinavian design was the Bauhaus movement, which focused on using industrial materials in design. This influence can be seen in the use of steel and glass in Scandinavian design, as well as the emphasis on functionality and simplicity.

Over time, Scandinavian design evolved to include new materials and techniques while still maintaining its focus on simplicity and functionality. 

Designers like Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner created iconic furniture designs that are still popular today. They were known for their use of natural materials, simple lines, and organic shapes.

Today, Scandinavian design continues to evolve and adapt to changing design trends while maintaining its signature style. It’s had a significant impact on modern design, influencing designers around the world with its emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and natural materials.

Characteristics of Scandinavian design

This design movement is all about minimalism, functionality, and simplicity, with a focus on high-quality materials and craftsmanship. It’s recognizable for its clean lines, natural materials, and neutral color palettes.

One of the coolest things about Scandinavian design is the principle of form follows function. This means that every design should serve a purpose, resulting in objects that are both beautiful and practical. 

This principle is reflected in the design of furniture, lighting, and other objects, which often feature simple and geometric shapes that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Another hallmark of Scandinavian design is the use of natural materials like wood, leather, and wool. These materials add warmth and texture to designs, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the home.

When it comes to colors, Scandinavian design is all about neutrals. White, black, gray, and earth tones are popular choices, creating a calming and soothing environment that’s essential in the long and dark winters of Nordic countries.

Lighting is also a big deal in Scandinavian design, with many iconic lighting designs coming out of this movement. These designs create a cozy and warm atmosphere, making up for the lack of natural light during the winter months.

Overall, Scandinavian design is timeless and enduring, and its influence can be seen in design trends all over the world. 

Impact of Scandinavian design

Scandinavian design has become an essential part of modern design, and its influence can be seen across various industries. Its emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and sustainability has made it a timeless and enduring trend that has inspired designers all over the world.

In the furniture industry, Scandinavian design has become a classic with iconic designs by Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, and Alvar Aalto still being popular today. The use of natural materials and a focus on sustainability has also become a trend in furniture design.

Scandinavian design has also become a popular choice for interior design with its simple lines and neutral color palettes. It’s all about creating a calm and inviting atmosphere with a touch of hygge, the Danish concept of coziness.

In fashion, Scandinavian design has inspired designers to create simple and functional designs with quality materials and craftsmanship. Brands like Acne Studios and Ganni have become popular for their minimalist designs, neutral color palettes, and use of natural materials.

Even in graphic design, Scandinavian design has made an impact with its focus on simplicity and functionality. The iconic typography of the Finnish designer Erik Bruun and the clean lines of the Swedish designer Olle Eksell have become influential in the design world.

Overall, Scandinavian design has become a staple of modern design and continues to inspire designers all over the world. Its emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and sustainability has made it a timeless and enduring trend that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Why is Scandinavian design important?

Scandinavian design is seriously important, and here’s why! This design trend is all about simplicity, functionality, and sustainability, making it a timeless and durable choice for modern design.

One reason why Scandinavian design is so important is that it’s versatile and adaptable. Its minimalist and natural approach to design means it can blend with any design style, from mid-century modern to industrial. 

So, if you’re looking to add a touch of Scandi to your home, you’re in luck!

Criticisms of Scandinavian design

Scandinavian design may be incredibly popular, but it’s not without its critics. Some argue that it can be too simple and lack personality, while others say it can be too expensive due to the high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

One of the main criticisms of Scandinavian design is that it can be too minimalist and feel impersonal. While the focus on functionality and simplicity can be calming, some people may find it too sterile and lacking in character.

Another criticism is that it can be expensive. High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship can lead to pricey furniture and home decor, making it less accessible for those on a budget.

Some also argue that Scandinavian design can be too focused on the Nordic countries, without regard for other cultures and design styles. While it’s influenced many other design movements, some people feel that it’s not inclusive enough.

Despite these criticisms, Scandinavian design is still super popular and likely to continue to be so. Its focus on sustainability, functionality, and simplicity has influenced designers all over the world. 

Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Scandinavian design has made its mark on modern design!

Tips for incorporating Scandinavian design into your home

Want to add some cozy and inviting Scandinavian vibes to your home? Here are some top tips to keep in mind!

Scandinavian design is all about simplicity, functionality, and natural materials. So, start by using a neutral color palette, with whites, blacks, grays, and earth tones creating a calming and soothing atmosphere. Adding natural elements like plants or woven textiles can help add pops of color and texture.

Furniture is a big deal in Scandinavian design, and it should be functional and made from high-quality materials. Wood is a popular choice, with designers using birch, beech, and oak. Look for simple and geometric designs that prioritize function over form.

Lighting is also super important in Scandinavian design , as it helps create a cozy and warm atmosphere during the long and dark winters of Nordic countries. Iconic and minimalist designs like the PH lamp by Poul Henningsen and the Artichoke lamp by Arne Jacobsen are perfect for creating the right ambiance.

Finally, textiles and accessories are essential in Scandinavian design, adding warmth and texture to the space. Look for natural materials like wool, linen, and leather , and keep the designs simple and geometric.

Overall, creating a Scandinavian design in your home is all about simplicity, functionality, and natural materials. Follow these tips, and you’ll be able to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere that’s both timeless and trendy!

How to create a Scandinavian living room?

Want to create a cozy and inviting Scandinavian-style living room but not sure where to start? Here are some specific ideas for what to include in your space:

• A neutral color palette: Keep the walls and furniture in your living room neutral with whites, grays, and earth tones. This creates a calming and soothing atmosphere, allowing the natural materials and textures to take center stage.
• Natural materials: Incorporate natural materials like wood, wool, and leather. A wooden coffee table or leather armchair can be a great way to add warmth and texture to your space.
• Functional furniture: Scandinavian design is all about practicality, so choose furniture that is comfortable and functional. A comfortable sofa or armchair with clean lines is a great option.
• Cozy textiles: Add some cozy textiles to your space to make it feel inviting. A soft wool rug or chunky knit throw can add warmth and comfort to your living room.
• Iconic lighting: Lighting is an essential component of Scandinavian design. Look for iconic designs like the PH lamp by Poul Henningsen or the Artichoke lamp by Arne Jacobsen to create a cozy and warm atmosphere.
• Minimalist decor: Keep your living room clutter-free with minimalist decor. A few statement pieces like a piece of wall art or a vase can add interest without overwhelming the space.
• Plants: Adding plants to your living room can bring life and color to your space. Choose low-maintenance plants like a snake plant or a fiddle leaf fig tree.

Overall, a Scandinavian living room (or Scandinavian bathroom or bedroom or kitchen…) is all about simplicity, natural materials, and functionality. By incorporating these specific ideas, you can create a cozy and inviting space that’s both trendy and timeless.

Understanding the evolution of Scandinavian design and architecture provides valuable insights into the elements that make these styles so unique and appealing. In this section, we'll explore the origins of Scandinavian design, the influences that shaped its development, and the pivotal moments that led to its international recognition and popularity.

Origins in the early 20th century

Scandinavian design and architecture trace their roots to the early 20th century, during a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in the Nordic countries. As people moved from rural areas to cities, there was a growing need for functional and affordable furniture and living spaces. This need laid the groundwork for the development of a distinct Scandinavian design aesthetic that prioritized simplicity, practicality, and affordability.

Influence of the Arts and Crafts movement

The emergence of Scandinavian design was also heavily influenced by the British Arts and Crafts movement, which championed the value of craftsmanship, quality materials, and a connection to nature. The Nordic designers embraced these principles, incorporating local materials like wood, glass, and ceramics into their creations. This emphasis on craftsmanship and natural materials remains a cornerstone of Scandinavian design to this day.

Emergence of Nordic design identity in the 1930s

The 1930s marked a pivotal moment in the development of a distinct Nordic design identity. The Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, in particular, played a significant role in showcasing the unique characteristics of Scandinavian design. The exhibition featured the works of prominent Nordic designers and architects, including Alvar Aalto and Gunnar Asplund, who introduced the world to the simple, functional, and minimalist principles that would come to define the Scandinavian aesthetic.

International recognition and popularity in the mid-20th century

Scandinavian design gained international recognition and popularity during the mid-20th century, largely due to the success of Nordic designers and architects in prestigious international design competitions and exhibitions. Iconic designs like Arne Jacobsen's Egg Chair, Hans Wegner's Wishbone Chair, and Alvar Aalto's Savoy Vase showcased the perfect blend of form and function that became synonymous with Scandinavian design.

Nordic Interior Design: Harmonizing Functionality with Nature’s Palette

Nestled in the Northern parts of Europe, the Nordic countries – Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland – are renowned for their breathtaking natural landscapes and a design aesthetic that is as serene as it is sophisticated. Nordic interior design, while diverse across these nations, shares a common thread of minimalism, functionality, and a deep connection with nature. As a Norwegian designer, I have experienced firsthand the harmony and tranquility these design principles bring to living spaces. This article explores the captivating elements of Nordic interior design, and how they come together to create environments that are not just visually appealing but soulfully nurturing.

Table of Contents

The essence of nordic interior design.

At the core of Nordic interior design is an ethos that transcends mere visual appeal; it is a philosophy of living harmoniously within one’s environment. This philosophy is deeply rooted in the geographical and cultural landscapes of the Nordic region. The long, dark winters and the brief, luminous summers have profoundly shaped our approach to design, leading to spaces that are not just functional and simple, but also deeply soulful and comforting.

A Symphony of Light and Space

In the Nordic design language, light is not just an aspect of design; it is its soul. We use light to counter the darkness of our winters, turning our homes into sanctuaries of warmth and brightness. The design maximizes natural light through large windows, often left undressed or with minimal treatments, to let in every precious ray of sunshine. During the darker months, the interplay of candles and well-designed lighting fixtures creates a soft, intimate atmosphere that is both uplifting and soothing.

Minimalism with Meaning

The clean lines and uncluttered spaces in Nordic design are not mere trends but reflections of a cultural inclination towards thoughtfulness and intention. Every element in a Nordic space has a purpose, a reason for being. This minimalism is not about austerity, but about finding beauty and serenity in simplicity. It is about creating environments that are calm, orderly, and imbued with a sense of balance and tranquility.

The Palette of Nature

Our color choices in Nordic design are whispers, not shouts. We draw our hues from the landscapes that surround us – the greys of stormy seas, the whites of snow-clad fjords, the soft greens of mossy forests, and the blues of twilight skies. This muted palette acts as a canvas, allowing the natural beauty of materials like wood, stone, and wool to take center stage. It also creates a backdrop that soothes the mind and spirit, evoking a sense of restfulness and ease.

Lagom – The Art of Balance

‘Lagom’, a Swedish term, encapsulates the Nordic pursuit of balance and moderation. It is about finding the ‘just right’ in everything – from the amount of light in a room to the number of furnishings. This concept extends beyond aesthetics to the very way we live our lives – seeking a harmony between work and rest, community and solitude, tradition and innovation.

The essence of Nordic design, as seen through the eyes of a Nordic artist, is much more than a style. It is a reflection of our history, our landscape, and our values. It is a design ethos that seeks to create spaces that are not just physically comfortable but also emotionally nurturing. In the heart of Nordic design lies a profound understanding of what it means to create a home – a place that is not just where we live but where we find peace, balance, and joy.

Natural Materials and Earthy Tones: A Tribute to Nordic Landscapes

In the realm of Nordic design, the use of natural materials is not just a choice but a tribute to the vast and varied landscapes of the North. The deep forests, rugged coastlines, and expansive skies are echoed in the textures and tones found within our homes. Wood, in its myriad forms, is the heart of this material palette. Pine and oak, with their warm, golden hues, birch with its light, airy feel, and ash with its robust and resilient character, are more than just building materials. They are storytellers, each grain and knot narrating tales of Nordic wilderness.

The tactile warmth of these woods is complemented by other elements drawn directly from nature. Wool, with its cozy and comforting texture, speaks of the rolling hills and the sheep that graze upon them. Cotton, crisp and fresh, mirrors the clarity of the Nordic air. Leather, aged and supple, carries the resilience and strength of the wild.

This reverence for natural materials extends to the color palette of Nordic design. Here, the hues are a reflection of the outdoor world – the soft greys of morning mists over the fjords, the pure whites of winter snows, the deep greens of pine forests, and the tranquil blues of the northern seas. These colors don’t overpower; instead, they create a canvas that allows the natural beauty of the materials to shine through.

The use of these earthy tones and textures does more than just create aesthetic appeal. It creates a connection – a bridge between the indoors and the natural world outside. It’s a reminder of the beauty that lies beyond our windows and an invitation to bring that beauty into our everyday lives.

In every choice of material and color, there is a sense of belonging – to a land, a culture, and a way of life that values the beauty, simplicity, and imperfection of the natural world. This approach to design is a celebration, a way to honor and connect with the landscapes that have shaped us, and to create spaces that are not just beautiful, but also deeply rooted in the essence of the Nordic soul.

Functionality and Sustainability

A key aspect of Nordic design is its focus on functionality. Every piece of furniture or decor is purposeful, contributing to a space that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a growing emphasis on sustainability, reflecting the Nordic countries’ commitment to environmental protection. This translates into the use of eco-friendly materials and a philosophy of buying fewer, but higher quality, items that endure the test of time.

Functionality: The Cornerstone of Nordic Design

Purpose in every piece.

In the world of Nordic design, functionality isn’t just a feature; it’s a philosophy. Every item, from the sleek lines of a chair to the subtle curves of a vase, is imbued with purpose. This mindful approach to design ensures that every element within a space is not just decorative but serves a practical role. It’s about creating environments that are liveable and adaptable, catering to the needs of daily life while maintaining an aesthetic of effortless elegance.

Streamlined for Simplicity

The functional nature of Nordic design can be seen in the streamlined forms and intelligent use of space. Storage solutions are often ingenious, seamlessly integrated into living areas without clutter or obstruction. Furniture is designed to be versatile, often serving multiple purposes or easily adjustable to suit different uses. This approach to design creates spaces that are uncluttered and open, promoting a sense of calm and order.

Sustainability: Embracing Environmental Responsibility

Eco-friendly materials.

Sustainability is a growing focus in Nordic design, mirroring the deep respect for nature that is a hallmark of Scandinavian culture. This manifests in the careful selection of materials that are not only durable but also environmentally friendly. Recycled materials, sustainably sourced wood, non-toxic paints, and natural fibers are increasingly becoming the materials of choice. This shift reflects a commitment to reducing environmental impact and fostering a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

Longevity and Quality

There’s a timeless quality to Nordic design, a deliberate move away from the transient nature of trends. The emphasis is on creating pieces that are classic, enduring, and of high quality. This philosophy encourages a culture of ‘buying less but better’, where the focus is on acquiring items that will last for years, if not generations. It’s a sustainable approach that challenges the throwaway culture, reducing waste and promoting a more thoughtful consumption of resources.

A Harmonious Cycle

This fusion of functionality and sustainability in Nordic design creates a harmonious cycle. Functional design ensures that spaces and objects are used to their fullest potential, reducing the need for excessive possessions. Meanwhile, sustainable practices ensure that these designs are gentle on the planet, contributing to a healthier environment and a more mindful way of living. Together, these principles form the backbone of Nordic design, a reflection of a culture that values practicality, beauty, and environmental stewardship in equal measure.

Lighting: Illuminating Nordic Spaces

Given the limited natural light for a significant part of the year, lighting is crucial in Nordic interiors. It is used strategically to create warmth and a sense of wellbeing. Soft, diffused lighting, combined with stylish lamps and candles, adds to the cozy, inviting atmosphere – a concept referred as ‘ hygge ‘.

Mastering the Glow

In the Nordic world, where daylight is a cherished but often fleeting commodity, lighting transcends its functional role, becoming the very soul of interior design. It’s about more than just illuminating a room; it’s about creating moods, evoking emotions, and crafting atmospheres. The strategic use of lighting, from the placement of lamps to the choice of bulbs, is key to transforming spaces into havens of warmth and wellbeing.

The Art of Soft Illumination

Nordic lighting design focuses on soft, diffused light that gently envelops a space. This approach avoids harsh contrasts and shadows, creating an environment that is soothing to the eyes and calming to the mind. Floor lamps with opaque shades, table lamps that cast a gentle glow, and wall fixtures that spread light evenly are staples in Nordic homes. This type of lighting invites relaxation and encourages a sense of tranquility.

Hygge: The Warmth of Light

Candles: the quintessence of hygge.

The Danish concept of hygge, which encapsulates a feeling of cozy contentment, is deeply intertwined with the way lighting is used in Nordic interiors. Candles are a quintessential element of hygge, offering a warm, flickering light that brings an organic, living element to a room. The soft glow of candlelight is synonymous with intimacy and conviviality, turning ordinary moments into something special and memorable.

Layering Light for Hygge

Creating hygge through lighting involves layering different types of light sources. Ambient lighting sets the overall tone of a room, while task lighting focuses on specific areas for reading or working. Accent lighting, such as string lights or decorative lamps, adds a touch of whimsy and personal flair. This layered approach ensures that each space is not just well-lit but also rich in atmosphere and character.

In Nordic design, lighting is more than a mere functional necessity; it’s a key element in creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant. It’s about harnessing the power of light to turn homes into sanctuaries of comfort and joy, especially in the heart of the long Nordic winter.

Nordic Design: Diverse Yet Unified

Nordic interior design, though united by common principles of simplicity, functionality, and a deep connection with nature, exhibits a fascinating diversity as it flows through the different countries of the North. Each nation infuses its unique character, history, and landscape into its design ethos, creating a rich tapestry of styles that are distinct yet harmoniously interconnected.

Norwegian Design: Rustic Elegance Meets Modern Living

Norwegian interior design beautifully marries rustic elements with modern sensibilities. Inspired by Norway’s rugged landscapes – from mountain ranges to coastal fjords – this style incorporates natural, raw materials like wood and stone. Norwegian homes often feature large windows framing the stunning views, with interiors that resonate with the colors and textures of the outside world. It’s a style that speaks of a profound connection with nature, where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony.

Danish Design: Playfulness Meets Avant-Garde

Danish design stands out with its playful spirit and avant-garde approach. It’s where classic functionality meets whimsical creativity. Danish interiors often feature bold, sculptural furniture, innovative use of materials, and an eclectic mix of textures and colors. This design style reflects the Danish love for life – ‘hygge’ in its purest form – creating spaces that are not just beautiful but also filled with joy and personality.

Swedish Interiors: The Epitome of Streamlined Functionality

In Sweden, the design philosophy leans towards a more streamlined and functional aesthetic. Swedish interiors are a testament to the art of minimalism – clean lines, a monochromatic color palette, and an uncluttered space that breathes calmness and order. This approach is deeply rooted in the Swedish lifestyle, where every object has a purpose, and beauty is found in simplicity and efficiency.

Finnish Design: Innovation in Form and Material

Finnish design is renowned for its innovative use of form and material. It pushes the boundaries of traditional design, experimenting with new shapes, textures, and materials. Finnish interiors often showcase a blend of organic forms inspired by nature and cutting-edge design, reflecting Finland’s reputation for technological innovation. This approach results in spaces that are not just visually striking but also tactile and engaging, a reflection of the Finnish spirit of experimentation and discovery.

Each Nordic country contributes its unique voice to the chorus of Nordic design, creating a mosaic of aesthetics that is as varied as it is unified. From the playful creativity of Denmark to the streamlined functionality of Sweden, the rustic elegance of Norway, and the innovative spirit of Finland, the essence of Nordic design is a celebration of diversity, bound together by a shared love for simplicity, functionality, and beauty. It’s a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the vibrant contemporary spirit that animates the Nordic way of life.

Summary: Nordic Interior Design

Nordic interior design offers more than just a style; it provides a way of living – one that emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and a connection with nature. Whether it’s the serene simplicity of a Swedish living room, the playful elegance of a Danish lounge, or the rustic charm of a Norwegian cabin, these designs invite tranquility, light, and harmony into our homes. Embracing Nordic design principles can transform spaces into sanctuaries of calm and beauty, reflecting the serene essence of the North.

Spotted (and admired) recently:  Nordic Knots , a rug brand inspired by classic, simple Nordic designs. The origin story? A trio of Swedes, Fabian Berglund (an ad agency creative director), his wife, Liza Laserow (an interior designer and antiques dealer), and Fabian’s brother, Felix Berglund (a Stockholm-based entrepreneur), found themselves brainstorming ideas for bringing Scandinavian home design to the US market. “We realized that at the center of every Swedish home is a good rug,” says Berglund, and that’s how Nordic Knots was born. The rug collection has a minimal aesthetic with color schemes inspired by the facades of 19th-century Stockholm architecture. Here’s a look at the collection; the design studio is in Stockholm if you are in the neighborhood.

Sådan vælger du den bedste kuffert

Du skal ud at rejse - men du mangler en passende kuffert. Med den her guide hjælper vi dig med at vælge den bedste kuffert til dig og dine behov. Vi svarer på, hvilken størrelse kuffert du skal vælge, og om du skal vælge softcase eller hardcase kuffert. Men vi kigger også på andre egenskaber, der er gode at vide mere om for eksempel de forskellige typer hjul. Efter at have læst vores store kuffertguide er du helt klar til finde en god kuffert.

Sådan vælger du den rette kuffert

Kufferter findes i alle former og størrelser. I bund og grund er det rejsens længde og formål, der afgør størrelsen og formen på kufferten. En kabinekuffert er ofte perfekt til weekend- eller forretningsrejser , mens det kan være nødvendigt med en større kuffert til charterferien . Derudover er det er mere praktisk med en vandrerygsæk med skulderremme på ferier til steder, hvor hjul ikke kan bruges .

#1 Råd For at forenkle dine rejser og ture bør du derfor anvende forskellige kufferter og tasker til forskellige typer af rejser og formål.

#2 Råd Tilmeld dig Danskerlisten fra Udenrigsministeriet inden afrejse. Det betyder kort og godt, at skulle der være en kritisk situation i det pågældende land, du befinder dig i, så får du direkte informationer fra de danske myndigheder. Det er gratis at tilmelde sig listen, og du kan læse mere om Danskerlisten på Udenrigsministeriets hjemmeside .

Softcase, hardcase eller klassisk rejsetaske

Softcase kuffert ( blød ).

Softcase kufferter produceres ofte af nylon og polyester, som er meget fleksible, lette og slidstærke materialer. De bløde kufferter er dog ikke så modstandsdygtige over for hårde slag og stød . Men kufferter i stof har dog ofte praktiske lommer på ydersiden med plads til en laptop eller dokumenter, hvilket blandt andet gør softcase kufferter ideelle som kabinekufferter .

Hardcase kuffert ( hård )

Hardcase kufferter findes ofte i to slags materialer.

• Tynd fleksibel polykarbonatplast , der blandt andet bruges i skudsikre glas. Kufferter i fleksibel polykarbonat er da også populære, da de vejer mindre end kufferter af den hårdere plast uden at miste sin robusthed .
• Stenhård polypropylen-plast , der også bruges i beholdere til kemikalier. Polypropylen-plast kan blive porøst ved lave temperaturer , og i nogle fly kan der være minusgrader i lastrummet.

Hvis du mere er på jagt efter en rejsetaske, er det vigtigt, at du vælger en model produceret af slidstærke og vandafvisende materialer. Det kan eksempelvis være behandlet nylonstof. Med skulderremme er en rejsetaske velegnet til rejser fyldt med aktiviteter såsom ski- eller dykkerferie. En rejsetaske med hjul er ofte betydeligt tungere end en taske, der kun har skulderremme.

Kuffert vægt og størrelse

Betydningen af en kuffert med en lav vægt kan ikke undervurderes, da overvægt på indchecket bagage er meget dyrt . Du kan også komme ud for at din kabinekuffert vejes, og hvis den overskrider flyselskabets vægtgrænse, skal kufferten checkes ind i flyets lastrum. Det vil også koste ekstra.

Men hvor stor du skal vælge din kuffert eller rejsetaske kommer an på, om den skal med ombord på flyet eller ej, og selvfølgelig også din konkrete rejse og billettype. Læs eventuelt vores guide til kabinekufferter og de forskellige flysselskabers regler.

#3 Råd Du bør altid medbringe dine rejsedokumenter, pas, penge, værdigenstande og andet vigtigt i den håndbagage, du tager med dig ombord, så du har det inden for rækkevidde under hele rejsen.

I forbindelse med din rejse oplyses en vægtgrænse for din indcheckede bagage , så af den grund er kuffertens egenvægt også et vigtigt parameter at se på; jo tungere kuffert, jo mindre plads har du til din oppakning.

#4 Råd Med en lille kuffertvægt kan du nemt få en fornemmelse af den samlede bagagevægt inden afrejse. Sådan en fylder ikke så meget, så du vil kunne have den på rejsen, så du igen kan tjekke bagagens vægt før hjemrejsen.

Hvilken størrelse kuffert skal du vælge?

Afhængigt af din rejselængde og formålet med rejsen, så er størrelsen af kufferten eller rejsetasken også en vigtig faktor.

Det er under alle omstændigheder ikke godt at rejse med en kuffert, der er alt for stor. Dels er kufferten tungere, dels bliver den også vanskeligere at pakke, hvis du ikke fylder den helt. Indholdet i en halvfyldt kuffert vælter simpelthen rundt, ligesom kufferten kan blive mere følsom over for slag, da indholdet i en ellers fyldt kuffert virker støddæmpende.

• 30-60 liter eller 50-55 cm høj er som regel nok til en rejse på nogle få dage.
• 60-80 liter eller 65-75 cm høj er passende hvis du er afsted i en uge.
• 70 liter + eller 75-80 cm høj er til de længere rejser på over en uge.

Kuffertens andre egenskaber

Kuffertens hjul.

Fire hjul giver betydeligt bedre kontrol og manøvrering end to hjul. Det kan især mærkes i smalle passager, ved kø eller i lufthavnsterminaler med mange folk i bevægelse. Kufferter med fire hjul har oftest mindre hjul end kufferter med to hjul.

To hjul . Store hjul kører bedre på ujævnt underlag end små hjul. Derfor kører kufferter på to hjul oftere bedre på vinterunderlag og grusveje.

Hjulenes størrelse betyder altså meget for rulleevnen, men kvalitetskomponenter i kuglelejer, hjul og hjulhus har endnu større betydning.

Der findes to forskellige typer af hjul på kufferter:

• Enkelthjul kan have tendens til at blive låst af grus osv. Så en god idé er at tjekke, at der er mellemrum mellem hjulhuset og hjulet, så grus nemt kan falde ud.
• Dobbelthjul har den fordel, at grus ikke kan sætte sig fast inde i hjulhuset.

Kuffertens håndtag

Teleskophåndtaget skal være stabilt og ergonomisk. Mange lavpriskufferter synes at have noget ustabile teleskophåndtag, hvilket gør dem vanskelige at bruge. Teleskophåndtaget bør desuden være så langt, at du ikke kommer til at sparke til kufferten med hælene, når du trækker kufferten efter dig. Længden på et teleskophåndtag bør derfor være omkring 105 cm målt fra gulvet.

Det er vigtigt, at bærehåndtaget på toppen af kufferten er placeret, så kufferten balanceres helt lodret, når du løfter den. Hvis håndtaget er placeret forkert, hænger kufferten skævt og slår mod benene, når du løfter den på trapper.

Større kufferter har typisk også et bærehåndtag på siden , hvilket gør dem lettere at håndtere for personer, der ikke er så høje.

TSA-lås (Travel Sentry Approved)

Sikkerhedspersonalet i lufthavnen har ret til at åbne kufferter med vold. Men det er ikke nødvendigt at gå så drastisk til værks, hvis din kuffert er udstyret med en kombinationslås – en såkaldt TSA-lås .

Tolderne i lufthavnen har en hovednøgle til sådanne låse, så de kan åbne kufferten uden at ødelægge låsen.

En TSA-lås kan genkendes ud fra sit røde logo. TSA-låse er altid kombinationslåse og er for det meste indbyggede i kufferten. De kan også medfølge eller tilkøbes som hængelås til kufferter med lynlås.

#5 Råd Ved indrejse til USA er en TSA godkendt bagagelås påkrævet af de amerikanske sikkerhedsmyndigheder.

Kuffertens indretning og design

Et godt indvendigt design af kufferten gør det let at pakke sin kuffert. Rumadskillelse, lommer og pakkeremme, samt et godt nedre og øvre rum i kufferten forhindrer også, at tøj og andre genstande vælter rundt og bliver unødigt krøllet.

De dyrere kufferter har oftest flest finesser, for eksempel en aftagelig sektionsinddeler, bøjle til skjorter og bluser, vaskeposer eller lomme til en bærbar computer. Nogle lavpriskufferter har ingen rumadskillelse eller pakkeremme, hvilket kan gøre det vanskeligere at pakke dem.

#6 Råd Spar plads i kufferten med toiletsager og andre produkter i rejsestørrelse – særligt godt til håndbagagen, hvor du maksimalt må have 100 ml pr. flaske med.

#7 Råd Rul dit tøj når du pakker og spar meget plads.

Udvidet kuffertgaranti

Fra vinduerne på flyet kan man ofte se, hvordan kufferterne kan blive kastet rundt af personalet, når de skal pakke lastrummet. Netop derfor er det vigtigt, at kufferten er af en høj kvalitet og kan holde til en hårdhændet behandling. Selv den mest holdbare kuffert kan dog falde af en bagagevogn. Derfor er det en god idé at vælge en kuffert, der har en god udvidet garanti .

Der er dog forskelle i, hvad de enkelte producenter dækker med deres garanti, ligesom producenternes garantier kan variere afhængigt af deres konkrete modeller og kollektioner.

Her er links til nogle af producenternes hjemmesider, hvor de med egne ord forklarer og beskriver deres produktgaranti:

• Samsonite Global Garanti
• Thule Guarantee
• American Tourister Global Garanti
• The North Face Garanti

JourneyLife Travel Pro Suitcase 55 cm - holdbar og kabinevenlig kuffert

JourneyLife Travel Pro Suitcase 55 cm er en let rejsekammerat med en solid polykarbonat- og ABS-konstruktion, der giver fremragende holdbarhed og modstandsdygtighed over for ridser og stød. Vi mener, at den er et godt valg for dig, der sætter pris på holdbarhed, letvægtsdesign og praktiske funktioner til en organiseret og sikker rejse.

Vi har selv prøvet kufferten af og kan bekræfte, at den er nem at pakke (netop fordi designet gør det til en leg) og at let glider henover stort set enhver overflade.

Dagens bedste priser og tilbud på JourneyLife Travel Pro Suitcase 55 cm:

• Kuffert af polykarbonat og ABS
• 360° spinner-hjul
• To pakkelommer

Anmeldelse: Produktanalyse af JourneyLife Travel Pro kuffert

SPECIFIKATIONER

• Dimensioner: 74 x 52 x 30 cm
• Vægt: 4,1 kg
• Materiale: Polykarbonat og ABS
• Volumen: 94 l
• Teleskophåndtag

Forbedret mobilitet og sikkerhed med ergonomisk håndtag, 360° spinnerhjul og TSA-lås JourneyLife-kufferten er lavet med tanke på, at den skal være nem at transportere og bære rundt på. Den har derfor et ergonomisk teleskophåndtag, der kan justeres i tre forskellige niveauer, hvilket sikrer komfort, mens du bærer den. Kombineret med sine 360° spinnerhjul tilbyder kufferten ubesværet manøvredygtighed i alle retninger. For ekstra sikkerhed og bekvemmelighed er kufferten desuden udstyret med en sikker TSA-lås. Det sikrer, at dine ejendele forbliver beskyttet under TSA-inspektioner uden risiko for at beskadige kuffertens lynlås. Selve lynlåsen er en YKK-eksplosionssikker lynlås, der garanterer lang holdbarhed.

Indbygget pakkesystem med to rum og netlomme Kufferten fra JourneyLife er desuden designet til effektiv organisering. Når du åbner den, vil du opdage et gennemtænkt indbygget pakkesystem med to hovedrum. Det første rum, der lukkes med lynlås, er et rummeligt område til opbevaring af større genstande som tøj eller sko. For yderligere at forbedre organiseringen har kufferten derudover en netlomme i det første rum. Netlommen er perfekt til opbevaring af mindre ting, som du måske har brug for at nå hurtigt, såsom toiletsager, rejsedokumenter eller elektronisk tilbehør. Det andet rum i kufferten er udstyret med en X-rem. Stroppen fungerer som en funktionel og sikker måde at holde dit foldede tøj eller andre genstande på plads under transporten.

JourneyLife kommer i en kompakt størrelse på 55 x 40 x 20 cm, som overholder retningslinjerne for kabinekufferter hos de fleste større flyselskaber, herunder Ryanair, SAS, Norwegian, Lufthansa og Jet hour. Hvis du er usikker på, om det er stort nok til dig, kan du kigge på JourneyLife 67 cm eller 73 cm store kufferter. De vil give mere plads, men også mindre overensstemmelse med flyselskabernes regler for håndbagage.

BEMÆRK: Bemærk, at det er vigtigt regelmæssigt at kontrollere flyselskabernes regler og bestemmelser om bagagemål og -begrænsninger. Reglerne er ofte genstand for ændringer eller variationer i deres politik. Derfor råder vi dig til at holde dig opdateret med de seneste oplysninger direkte fra flyselskaberne.

Redaktionens vurdering.

Efter vores mening er JourneyLife Travel Pro en god investering for rejsende, der prioriterer holdbarhed, letvægtsdesign og praktiske funktioner. Den solide polykarbonat- og ABS-konstruktion sikrer stor robusthed, mens det ergonomiske håndtag og 360° spinnerhjul giver ubesværet mobilitet i alle retninger – noget vi efter egen test af kufferten kan bekræfte er ganske rigtigt.

At have TSA-låsen tilføjer desuden et ekstra lag af sikkerhed uden at gå på kompromis med kuffertens lynlås. Selv om kufferten ikke kan udvides, mener vi, at det indbyggede pakkesystem med to rum og netlomme giver effektiv organisering af både større og mindre genstande – og derfor er vi sikre på, at det kan blive din perfekte rejsemakker fremadrettet.

Fordele og ulemper ved JourneyLife Travel Pro Suitcase 55 cm

• Forbedret mobilitet
• Justerbart håndtag, der er let at bære
• Ekstra sikkerhed med TSA-lås
• Glider nemt henover enhver overflade
• Super indvendigt design, så du nemt kan have alle dine ting med

JourneyLife Travel Pro kuffertsæt - 3 kuffertsæt til en billig pris

• Vægt: 2,6, 3,3, 4,1 kg

Let, holdbart og sikkert rejsekuffertsæt Kufferterne i sættet er lavet af et solidt polykarbonat- og ABS-kabinet, og er derfor både lette og holdbare. Med deres kabinevenlige størrelser og YKK-eksplosionssikre lynlåse er kufferterne derudover både pålidelige og robuste. Indvendigt sikrer det indbyggede pakkesystem desuden effektiv organisering, og de sikre TSA-låse giver ekstra sikkerhed under rejsen. Det er den perfekte kombination af funktioner og værdi for kræsne rejsende.

Maksimering af værdi og bekvemmelighed Investering i kuffertsættet fra JourneyLife giver dig en bemærkelsesværdig mulighed for omkostningseffektivitet og stor værdi for pengene. I stedet for at købe tre separate kufferter, kan du nemlig vælge sættet til en mere fordelagtig pris. Det betyder, at du kan nyde godt af bekvemmeligheden og funktionerne ved flere kufferter uden at skulle overskride dit budget.

Et enkelt sæt kufferter sikrer desuden ensartet kvalitet og kompatibilitet mellem delene. Hver kuffert i sættet er nemlig designet med de samme høje standarder for holdbarhed, funktionalitet og stil. Det gør det muligt at opretholde en ensartet og koordineret rejseoplevelse, hvilket i sidste ende øger din generelle tilfredshed og bekvemmelighed, når du er afsted.

Thule Subterra Carry-On Kabinekuffert - lille og kompakt kuffert

Andre brugere skriver, at det er en meget praktisk taske, der er lavet af højkvalitetsmaterialer. De fremhæver mange gode funktioner samt et smart kompressionspanel. Det eneste negative de har at sige, er at håndtaget kan være lidt trægt at slå ned.

Dagens bedste priser og tilbud på Thule Subterra Carry-On Kabinekuffert:

• Egnet til at tage med på flyet som håndbagage
• Opdelt hovedrum
• Håndtag i bund, side og top

• Materiale: Nylon
• Volumen: 36 l

Flere anmeldere roser kuffertens design, der passer godt på dine ting uden at gå på kompromis med udseendet. Et par forbrugere skriver, at hjulene bliver forholdsvist hurtigt slidt, men den har en god indretning og har mere plads end andre softcase kufferter på grund af en god rumindretning.

Kabinekufferten er en blød kuffert med en yderside af stof. Det er robust stof, der ikke revner eller plettes nemt. På ydersiden er der en smart lomme, hvor du kan placere dine værdigenstande eller andre ting, du gerne vil have hurtig adgang til.

Den har en perfekt størrelse til at passe ind på bagagehylden i de fleste fly. Den har en lang teleskopstang, så du kan trække den bag dig. Den kan være lidt svær at trykke den, fordi du skal trykke på to knapper samtidig, men til gengæld slipper du for et håndtag, der slår sig selv ned i tide og utide.

Der er også robuste håndtag i siden og i bunden af trolleyen, så du nemt kan samle den op, når du skal placere den på hylden eller bag i bilen. I modsætning til mange andre kabinekufferter, der har fire hjul, har denne kun to hjul. I mange tilfælde er det ikke noget problem at trække kufferten i stedet for at skubbe den, men det er værd at notere, hvis du foretrækker fire hjul.

Indeni er der to rum. Det ene rum lukkes med netstof og lynlås, som du kender det fra andre kufferter. Den anden rum har et kompressionspanel, som du kan udvide, hvis pladsen bliver lidt for trang. Du kan enten fjerne panelet eller placere det i forskellige højde afhængigt af din oppakning, så det er en fleksibel pakkeløsning. Låget er lavet i to lag med et netstof øverst og et mere fast materiale nedenunder. Denne opdeling gør det ideelt at placere beskidt tøj eller sko mellem de to lag, så det ikke skal ligge sammen med resten af bagagen.

Fordele og ulemper ved Thule Subterra Carry-On Kabinekuffert

• Materialer af høj kvalitet
• Foldede hjørner
• Holdbare hjul
• Tung for sin størrelse
• Akavet lynlåsbevægelse

American Tourister Bon Air Kuffert - god til forretningsrejsen

Pricerunner har kåret American Tourister Bon Air som det bedste lavprisvalg. Den er god til prisen, fordi den har et flot og kulørt design og en holdbar udvendig skal. De skriver,  at krydsremmene er lidt slappe og at lynlåsen ikke er regnbeskyttende, hvilket er kuffertens eneste svagheder.

Mere om American Tourister Bon Air Kuffert

• Hardcase kuffert
• Plads til 17,3″ bærbar og 10,1″ tablet
• TSA-godkendt kombinationslås

Flere anmeldere skriver, at designet er super fedt og at den er super rummelig. En forbruger roser kufferten for at være rigtig robust, mens mange synes, at du får rigtig god værdi for pengene med denne kuffert.

Med American Tourister Bon Air skal du ikke bakse rundt med en kedelig kuffert, men kan forene et moderne design med praktisk opbevaring.

Kufferten er fremstillet af polyprolyen, som er solidt, men stadig let og fleksibelt, så den ikke vejer for meget. Den har et teleskophåndtag, som kan indstilles til to forskellige højder, så den passer til forskellige kropstyper og situationer. Under bunden finder du fire hjul, der gør det nemt at manøvrere rundt, da de kan dreje 360 grader.

Derfor kan du også skubbe kufferten foran dig i stedet for at trække den bag dig, hvis pladsen bliver trang eller hvis du gerne vil have øjnene på den hele tiden for sikkerhedens skyld. Hvis sikkerheden er en bekymring for dig, så kan du være rolig, for på siden har den en TSA-godkendt 3-cifret kombinationslås, som er en fordel at have, hvis du skal rejse i USA.

Indeni er kufferten beklædt med tekstil. Rummet i den bagerste del af kufferten har krydsbånd, der holder tøj og bagage på plads. I låget er der flere adskilte rum. Det er netlommer, der lukkes med en lynlås. Derfor kan du organisere din kuffert bedre, end hvis det hele glider sammen hver gang, du sætter kufferten på højkant.

Indeni har den også et rum, hvor du kan have din elektronik. Der er plads til en bærbar computer på op til 17,3″ og en tablet på op til 10,1″. De sidder sikkert her, så det er praktisk, hvis du for eksempel skal på en forretningsrejse, hvor du skal have al elektronikken med på turen.

Fordele og ulemper ved American Tourister Bon Air Kuffert

• Farverigt design
• Holdbar skal
• Let i vægt for størrelsen
• Nem at opbevare
• Ridses nemt
• Høj prisklasse

Eastpak Tranverz Rejsetaske - populær rejsetaske

Rejsetasken fra Eastpak er bedømt til 4,7 stjerner af forbrugerne på Google. Flere anmeldere skriver, at det er en solid taske, som har god plads til bagage. En anmelder kommenterer, at det er super praktisk, at tasken kan pakkes sammen og fylder meget lidt, når du skal opbevare den.

Mere om Eastpak Tranverz Rejsetaske

• Dimensioner: 79 x 33 x 40 cm
• Vægt: 3,6 kg
• Materiale: Polyester
• Volumen: 121 l

Eastpak Tranverz er en slidstærk taske i høj kvalitet. Den er lavet af innovative materialer, som gør det den lettere, så du ikke skal bære på unødvendige kilo. Materialet består af polyester, hvilket gør det super holdbart. Det tørrer hurtigt og er let at rengøre, så derfor er det også en god bagage at have med, hvis du skal til våde klimaer. Tasken kan låses med en TSA-godkendt tretrins-lås. Det har den dobbelte fordel at holde dine ting sikre, samtidig med at det letter processen gennem sikkerhedskontrollerne i lufthavnene i USA.

Ydersiden at kufferten har et klassisk, neutralt design, som man ofte ser på andre Eastpak tasker. I toppen har den en hank, som er fleksibel, så den ikke knækker, hvis den bliver udsat for pres. Derudover har den et teleskophåndtag, som kan indstilles til din højde. Under bunden finder du to hjul og to støttefødder, så du kan trække kufferten efter dig og stille den solidt på jorden, når du er stoppet, uden den ruller væk fra dig.

Eastpak har stor tillid til deres produkter, så derfor får du hele 30 års garanti på rejsetasken, hvis der skulle ske noget med den.

Inden i kufferten har den et indbygget pakkesystem. Det betyder, at det store rum er fravalgt til fordel for flere mindre rum. Det gør det nemmere at organisere dine ting og for eksempel holde det beskidte tøj fra det rene eller toiletsagerne separat. Du kan pakke i begge sider af låget, der hver kan lukkes af med en lynlås. Det gør det også nemmere at åbne kufferten, når indholdet ikke falder ud hver gang.

Foruden lynlåsen omkring hele kufferten, har den også to stropper på siden, som kan justeres. På den måde kan du gøre kufferten større eller mindre efter behov. Det er også praktisk, når du ikke skal bruge kufferten. På den måde kan den foldes sammen og lægges ind i et skab eller under sengen og ikke optage en masse plads.

Fordele og ulemper ved Eastpak Tranverz Rejsetaske

• Stærke hjul
• Komfortabelt håndtag
• Høj kvalitet
• Uopfindsomt design
• Kunne bruge et par ekstra små frontlommer

Hvad skal du overveje, før du køber kufferter

• Kufferttype:  Skal du på vandretur er en rygsæk er god. Skal du på en kort smuttur, kan det ofte være nok med en kabinekuffert. Hvis du har skrøbelige ting, kan du med fordel vælge en hardcase kuffert, men har du store ting, kan fleksibiliteten i en softcase kuffert være rar.
• Design:  Gå gerne efter en kuffert der er vandtæt – også i lynlåsen. Du kan vælge mellem to eller fire hjul, alt efter hvordan du foretrækker at køre med kufferten. Skal den udelukkende have en teleskopstang at holde ved, eller skal den også have bærehåndtag?
• Indvendig indretning:  Hvis du har store ting, kan du foretrække ét stort rum. Hvis du skal på en længere tur eller have mange småting, kan det være rart med flere små rum, så du bedre kan organisere din bagage.

Købeguide: Sådan vælger du den bedste kuffert

Den rette kuffert afhænger ofte af, hvor du skal rejse hen, hvor længe du skal være afsted, og hvad du skal have med. Derfor vil det langt henad vejen være præferencer, der afgør købet. Der er alligevel en række gode overvejelser og ting, du kan holde øje med, så du får den rigtige taske med hjem.

Rejsetype Det første, du skal have i tankerne, er hvilken type rejse du skal på. Hvis du skal på en kort rejse, kan du typisk nøjes med en mindre taske, end hvis du skal på langfart.

Hvis du skal på forretningsrejse, kan det være en fordel med en taske, der har plads til din computer eller tablet. Skal du på vandretur, skal du have meget plads, men stadig kunne bære den på ryggen. Har du skrøbelige ting, skal du helst have en robust kuffert, der kan passe på dem.

Kufferttype

• Rygsække  er rigtig gode, hvis du skal på camping, vandretur eller rejse med tog gennem Europa. De er også gode at bruge som håndbagage, når du skal med en flyver.
• Rejsetasker  har plads til meget på trods af den lille størrelse. Mange har hjul og bærehåndtag, så de bliver nemmere at håndtere.
• Hardcase kufferter  beskytter dine ting mod stød og er vandtætte, fordi de typisk er lavet af plastik. De kan nemt stakkes ovenpå hinanden, hvis du har mere end én kuffert med på tur.
• Softcase kufferter  kan forme sig efter din bagage, hvilket er en fordel, hvis du har rigtig meget med eller genstande med specielle former. Den kan udvide sig efter behov, men dine ting kan være lidt mere udsatte end i hardcase kufferter.

Størrelse Hvis du skal købe ny bagage inden et bestemt rejse, kan du med fordel tilpasse størrelsen efter flyselskabets regler. Hvis du kun skal have håndbagage med, skal du sørge for, at den passer til kravene, så du ikke får købt en for stor kuffert, der skal tjekkes ind.

Indvendigt design Hvis du har store ting, foretrækker du formentlig en kuffert med ét stort rum. Til gengæld kan det være rart med flere mindre rum, hvor du bedre kan organisere tingene, hvis du skal på en længere chartertur. Til forretningsrejser kan det være gavnligt med en separat plads til din bærbare computer og pænere tøj som skjorter og suit pants til jakkesættet .

Vægt Hovedreglen er at gå efter en kuffert, der vejer så lidt som muligt, men som stadig har en solid konstruktion, der kan holde alle dine ting. Ellers risikerer du, at de første mange kilo går til spilde på kufferten, så du kan have mindre reel bagage med i flyveren. Det gør det også nemmere at fragte den, hvis du ikke har unødvendig overvægt.

Materiale og udvendigt design Gå gerne efter et materiale, der er vandtæt, holdbart og let i vægt. Sørg for at lynlåsen er holdbar og også gerne vandtæt, da det typisk er her, at vandet slipper ind. Du skal også helst have en kuffert med en lås, så du kan holde dine ting sikret.

Det er en smagssag, om du foretrækker at have to eller fire hjul. Med fire hjul kan du typisk bevæge kufferten frit i 360 grader og kan skubbe den foran dig, men til gengæld skal du holde fast i den, hvis du har den med i et tog eller en bus. Har den to hjul, skal du trække den efter dig og så har den typisk to støtteben, så den står solidt lige præcis dér, hvor du stiller den fra dig.

Håndtaget kan være en teleskopstang, der kan justeres i den ønskede højde. Derudover kan det være rart at have faste håndtag, som du kan tage fat i, når du skal løfte på kufferten.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

Why were so many metro stations in Moscow renamed?

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

The Moscow metro system has 275 stations, and 28 of them have been renamed at some point or other—and several times in some cases. Most of these are the oldest stations, which opened in 1935.

The politics of place names

The first station to change its name was Ulitsa Kominterna (Comintern Street). The Comintern was an international communist organization that ceased to exist in 1943, and after the war Moscow authorities decided to call the street named after it something else. In 1946, the station was renamed Kalininskaya. Then for several days in 1990, the station was called Vozdvizhenka, before eventually settling on Aleksandrovsky Sad, which is what it is called today.

The banner on the entraince reads: "Kalininskaya station." Now it's Alexandrovsky Sad.

Until 1957, Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov ( Palace of Soviets ). There were plans to build a monumental Stalinist high-rise on the site of the nearby Cathedral of Christ the Saviour , which had been demolished. However, the project never got off the ground, and after Stalin's death the station was named after Kropotkinskaya Street, which passes above it.

Of course, politics was the main reason for changing station names. Initially, the Moscow Metro itself was named after Lazar Kaganovich, Joseph Stalin’s right-hand man. Kaganovich supervised the construction of the first metro line and was in charge of drawing up a master plan for reconstructing Moscow as the "capital of the proletariat."

In 1955, under Nikita Khrushchev's rule and during the denunciation of Stalin's personality cult, the Moscow Metro was named in honor of Vladimir Lenin.

New Metro stations that have been opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union simply say "Moscow Metro," although the metro's affiliation with Vladimir Lenin has never officially been dropped.

Stations that bore the names of Stalin's associates were also renamed under Khrushchev. Additionally, some stations were named after a neighborhood or street and if these underwent name changes, the stations themselves had to be renamed as well.

Until 1961 the Moscow Metro had a Stalinskaya station that was adorned by a five-meter statue of the supreme leader. It is now called Semyonovskaya station.

Left: Stalinskaya station. Right: Now it's Semyonovskaya.

The biggest wholesale renaming of stations took place in 1990, when Moscow’s government decided to get rid of Soviet names. Overnight, 11 metro stations named after revolutionaries were given new names. Shcherbakovskaya became Alekseyevskaya, Gorkovskaya became Tverskaya, Ploshchad Nogina became Kitay-Gorod and Kirovskaya turned into Chistye Prudy. This seriously confused passengers, to put it mildly, and some older Muscovites still call Lubyanka station Dzerzhinskaya for old times' sake.

At the same time, certain stations have held onto their Soviet names. Marksistskaya and Kropotkinskaya, for instance, although there were plans to rename them too at one point.

"I still sometimes mix up Teatralnaya and Tverskaya stations,” one Moscow resident recalls .

 “Both have been renamed and both start with a ‘T.’ Vykhino still grates on the ear and, when in 1991 on the last day of my final year at school, we went to Kitay-Gorod to go on the river cruise boats, my classmates couldn’t believe that a station with that name existed."

The city government submitted a station name change for public discussion for the first time in 2015. The station in question was Voykovskaya, whose name derives from the revolutionary figure Pyotr Voykov. In the end, city residents voted against the name change, evidently not out of any affection for Voykov personally, but mainly because that was the name they were used to.

What stations changed their name most frequently?

Some stations have changed names three times. Apart from the above-mentioned Aleksandrovsky Sad (Ulitsa Kominterna->Kalininskaya->Vozdvizhenka->Aleksandrovsky Sad), a similar fate befell Partizanskaya station in the east of Moscow. Opened in 1944, it initially bore the ridiculously long name Izmaylovsky PKiO im. Stalina (Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest Named After Stalin). In 1947, the station was renamed and simplified for convenience to Izmaylovskaya. Then in 1963 it was renamed yet again—this time to Izmaylovsky Park, having "donated" its previous name to the next station on the line. And in 2005 it was rechristened Partizanskaya to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in World War II. 

Partizanskaya metro station, nowadays.

Another interesting story involves Alekseyevskaya metro station. This name was originally proposed for the station, which opened in 1958, since a village with this name had been located here. It was then decided to call the station Shcherbakovskaya in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a politician who had been an associate of Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev had strained relations with Shcherbakov, however, and when he got word of it literally a few days before the station opening the builders had to hastily change all the signs. It ended up with the concise and politically correct name of Mir (Peace).

The name Shcherbakovskaya was restored in 1966 after Khrushchev's fall from power. It then became Alekseyevskaya in 1990.

But the station that holds the record for the most name changes is Okhotny Ryad, which opened in 1935 on the site of a cluster of market shops. When the metro system was renamed in honor of Lenin in 1955, this station was renamed after Kaganovich by way of compensation. The name lasted just two years though because in 1957 Kaganovich fell out of favor with Khrushchev, and the previous name was returned. But in 1961 it was rechristened yet again, this time in honor of Prospekt Marksa, which had just been built nearby.

In 1990, two historical street names—Teatralny Proyezd and Mokhovaya Street—were revived to replace Prospekt Marksa, and the station once again became Okhotny Ryad.
