About us

Wormbags is not just a series of bags. It is a statement about inclusive design: playful, functional, and making lives easier.

Traditional closures often require precision and fine motor skills. For many people, this 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 assocaitons (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.

Founder

Lena Bernasconi is a designer creating objects and systems at the intersection of design, inclusion, and responsibility. Her practice is rooted in dialogue and collaboration with users. Needs and lived experiences guide the process. She focuses on overlooked contexts to create inclusive, functional solutions that embody empathy, dignity, and joy. Wormbags embodies her values, the process behind them, and their realization into tangible objects.
