The annual Travel & Leisure Design Awards are voted by a jury of industry leaders who seek out to find the best of the best in travel for the year.The jury includes fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, museum curator Valerie Steel, interior designer and author Michael Smith, museum founder Terence Conran, renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, NYC City official Amanda Burden, architect Rafael Vinoly and museum director Holly Hotchner.

RIMOWA earned the luggage award for the design, functionality and durability of their Salsa Deluxe line, a follow-up to the successful Salsa Series. The Salsa Deluxe series is a cutting edge collection of luggage that taps into all of the needs of today's travelers. The intelligent line is the result of RIMOWA's commitment to producing the best luggage in the world.

The collection is extremely durable with the 100% polycarbonate shell and features sophisticated and stylish new colors that complement any style. The tonal edging and accessories are both functional and fashionable.

The Salsa Deluxe lightweight cases help prevent the problem of overweight baggage. Each case is lightweight, with the largest case weighing in at only 12.1 lbs.

With a well-crafted interior, even the most novice packer will be able to pack with ease thanks to the removable and adjustable flex divider system. Even with the case half full, travelers can ensure their belongings will stay in place for the length of their trip.

The new "add a bag" system makes attaching a smaller case uncomplicated so the traveler can transport several cases with ease. The RIMOWA Multiwheel® system allows for effortless transport through the airport as the case can be rolled or spun any way, on two or four wheels. Finally, travelers can rest assured knowing that their belongings will remain secure thanks to the TSA Locks® integrated onto each bag.

The design award can be seen in the March 2010 issue of Travel & Leisure Magazine.
