cision, strength, or coordinated finger movements. For many people, due to neurological conditions, developmental disorders, injuries, aging, or sensory differences, these gestures can make everyday objects unnecessarily difficult to use.
Wormbags proposes an alternative.
A flexible padded cylinder compresses into a rigid metal piece.
No precise gesture.
No force.
Just compression.
An intuitive movement that works for everyone.
From the beginning, the project has been developed in collaboration with ASA Handicap Mental and the Senior Lab. User experience is fully embedded in the design process: prototypes are continuously reviewed, tested, and refined together with experts and users.
What makes life easier for some can make life better for all.

WORMBAGS
Wormbags is a series of colorful bags featuring a unique shoulder strap adjustment system.
The padded cylinder locks into a metal piece through compression, eliminating the need for precise or complex movements while remaining secure and functional.
The mechanism is visible.
The experience is effortless.
Originally initiated as a school project in 2022 at the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL), exploring how fastening systems could be redesigned to be truly accessible, Wormbags has since evolved into a brand.
