wallet house by negar jazbi from canada

The urban nomad exists in many forms – binner, student, businessman, and traveler. One feature they all share is a portable lifestyle, in which the personal essentials are carried at all times. Wallet House is the ultimate expression of the nomadic lifestyle, a pared down home that can travel anywhere to carry the basics or become a home in itself. Its infinite variability accommodates the changing needs of an urban nomad, from constant mobility, to high volume hauling, to spontaneous sleeping. The form was inspired by one of the most common objects for all urban nomads – the wallet. Our cart folds out and expands similar to a typical wallet.
