We Make Trade Shows Easy
Easy to Transport
- Nomad is compact lightweight, cutting shipping costs and eliminating oversized delivery boxes that slow down booth setup.
- You can easily hand carry it yourself. You don't have to wait for event staff to carry it for you, reducing costs even further.
Bottom Line: Nomad keeps transport simple, timely, and low cost at every show.
Reduced Logistical Burden
- Renting mannequins require additional prep, coordination, and paperwork that adds unnecessary steps before every show.
- With Nomad, you no longer have to wait for staff to deliver the mannequin boxes and coordinate returns, reducing headache in setup and teardown.
Bottom Line: Nomad reduces rental logistics and coordination.
Durable and Long-Lasting
- Nomad was tested at the most chaotic NYC pop-ups and trade shows, so it easily withstands crowds and wear and tear.
- Designed by MIT engineers to withstand repeated shipping and storage cycles, with materials that don't crack or break.
Bottom Line: Nomad delivers long lasting, reliable performance for every event for many years.

Sell More at Shows
Displaying clothes with a mannequin can increase your store's sales by up to 40%! Our portable mannequin will bring more attention to you at any event or pop up market you go to.
Traditional mannequins are annoying to move and can often break in transit, but Nomad is built to be durable and allows you to display clothes anywhere.
A Nomad for Every Occasion
Style Nomad for anything: the gym, the office, or the weekend, and it always looks great.
Display Your Designs Anywhere
Our collapsible mannequin can be taken everywhere from street markets to at-home studios. The Nomad has been designed with a stable yet compact base so it's sturdy and out of the way, no matter where it is.
With the Nomad, going from packed up to displaying takes less than 2 minutes in a few simple steps.
Looking for a Custom Form?
We have the capabilities to create a custom form made to your specifications. Please reach out to us at nomad@nomadmannequin.com for more information, and we will work with you on next steps.
Built to Last
Nomad was thoughtfully designed by MIT engineers to be your durable, dependable companion in vending, crafting, and creating.
Unlike traditional mannequins that break easily in transit, like when they get crushed in the trunk by your market essentials, Nomad comes in a protective case that keeps it safe on the go.
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.
