Cocoon Tree Tent

by: Basecamp

We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about tree houses, and the only negative we’ve found is that you can’t take it with you when the vacation is over.  The Cocoon Tree Tent is a mobile tree house of sorts, a spherical tent that can travel with you and provide a whimsical form of shelter for your next camping trip.  Find yourself a dreamy little plot by the water or up in the trees, and connect your globe of a tent with cables.  The Cocoon Tree Tent is one part tent, one part hammock, as it gently bounces in the breeze and rocks its inhabitants to sleep.

The interior features a 2.4 meter circular bed with a custom sheet that can comfortably fit two guests with room to spare.  The frame is constructed with a series of ribs that create the shape of the Cocoon sphere and hold the bed in place.  Each rib has a hook for a rope or cable that can connect it to nearby trees just like a typical hammock but with more support.  Pricing or availability are not yet available for the Cocoon Tree, but direct sales to hotels and other relaxation providers are in the works.  Stay tuned if you’d like to have a Cocoon Tree tent of your own…
