Nomadic Handle

2026
A Bunch of Knobs — Milan Design Week 2026
Organised by Zaccaria Slater
Milan, Italy
Drawing inspiration from the modern nomad, this design reimagines the boundary between shelter and the wild. For the camper, the tent flap serves as a door, and the zipper pull is its handle. This piece translates that transient utility into permanent architecture, scaling the iconic zipper form into a functional door lever. By solidifying the ‘soft’ hardware of a tent into a tactile domestic object, it bridges the gap between the freedom of the outdoors and the stability of home.
