Take Your Designs Anywhere
Unlock the freedom to design wherever inspiration strikes with our portable mannequin.
Our collapsible mannequin can be taken everywhere from street markets to at-home studios. The Nomad has been designed with a wide rigid base so it's stable no matter what terrain it's on, or who bumps into it.
We know setting and packing up for events can be a time sink, so we made setting up the Nomad as quick and easy as possible. Going from packed up to displaying takes less than 2 minutes in 6 simple steps.
Sell 40% More at Pop Ups
Displaying your designs with a mannequin can increase your store's sales by up to 40%! Our collapsible mannequin lets your designs be seen as intended and will bring more interest to any event or pop up market you display at.
Traditional dressforms are a hassle to move, but Nomad allows you to display clothes anywhere you go.
Make More Room for You
With our collapsible mannequins, you'll reclaim valuable space in your studio or workspace.
Easily store Nomad away when not in use, giving you room to breathe and focus on your creative process. When inspiration strikes, simply pull out your packable mannequin and dive into your next design project without clutter or constraints.
Design like a Pro
Our portable mannequin is also a great sewing form. Featuring draping lines and a pinnable cover, designers are able to visualize and perfect their creations effortlessly.
Our mannequin provides the ideal canvas for exploring different silhouettes and fabric drapes, ensuring precise and effective garment design.
Built to Last
Nomad is expertly designed by MIT engineers to be your durable companion in designing, vending, and crafting.
With precision laser-cut rings, Kevlar strings (the same material in bulletproof vests), top-of-the-line 3D-printed parts, and expert patternmaking, it's made to last through every creative journey.
