Waiters corkscrew leather case

A Journey in Form and Function

The Soft Machine® Nomad is more than a wine tool — it is a companion for those who appreciate wine wherever they go. Born from the marriage of elegant materials, expert mechanics, and travel-ready design, this limited edition set reflects L’Atelier du Vin’s ongoing pursuit of refined wine rituals.
Handmade in Italy, each Soft Machine® Nomad is unique, celebrating the beauty of raw leather and light-catching acetate.

A Signature Tool: Soft Machine® Dandy

At the heart of the Nomad set lies the Soft Machine® Dandy corkscrew — a special edition finished in polished acetate, a material known for its subtle shimmer and individuality. The Dandy’s patented rack-and-pinion system enables one smooth vertical extraction, with no twisting or tearing.
It is compact, precise, and effortlessly expressive — a wine opener that performs as beautifully as it appears.

A Case That Tells Its Own Story

The accompanying leather pouch is entirely handmade in Italy from genuine fawn leather. The exterior is raw and untreated, designed to develop a natural patina over time, creating a tactile record of your travels.
The interior is lined with mustard-toned technical leather, durable and easy to maintain. Its foldable structure allows it to slide easily into luggage, backpacks, or pockets — the perfect companion for flights, weekends, or unexpected picnics.
Each case is different. Each piece tells a story.

Ideal for Travel, Gifting, and Collecting

The Soft Machine® Nomad is the ideal gift for wine enthusiasts who appreciate refined craftsmanship and compact design. Whether for a globetrotting sommelier, a thoughtful host, or a collector of beautiful objects, it offers both utility and distinction.
This is not just a corkscrew — it is a statement, delivered in a protective travel pouch, ready to accompany its owner wherever life leads.

The Nomad Spirit

Created as part of the Nomad Collection, this edition embraces motion and freedom. Whether on a plane, a boat, or a simple countryside ride, it transforms each stop into a moment of wine and design.
Handmade, unrepeatable, and intentionally timeless.

I wanted a visual surprise when opening each kit. The challenge for me was to imagine a beautiful, practical object to highlight the quality of L’Atelier du Vin’s tools. In a way, to marry the elegance of something hand-made with functional minimalism. L’Atelier du Vin’s kits are esthetic and useful objects but also ethical and timeless. Beauty spans the ages, and these kits bear witness to that.
