Nikolas Bentel’s Ultra-Practical Purses and Homewares Are Designed with a Singularly Whimsical Purpose

Why settle for a whole pizza when a single slice can be this stylish? Nikolas Bentel (previously) believes it’s time to revolutionize the way you transport your favorite treats, whether it’s pizza, a hot dog, a soda, or pasta. He has created a collection of fashion accessories and homewares that transform familiar objects, such as electrical cables or picnic blanket carriers, into hyper-practical items that push the boundaries of functionality.

Similar to the ingenuity of Nicole McLaughlin’s clothing designs and the whimsy of art collective MSCHF’s accessories, Bentel’s creations are meticulously crafted to perform a single, specific task. Just secure a lone bottle of cola with his innovative buckled straps, and you’re ready to go.

Explore more of the artist’s creations on his website, where he offers these unique pieces for sale, and stay updated with his latest work on Instagram and TikTok.
