To put it simply, I want to own one of these. The Read-Nest Cabin by Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter is an outdoor pod of sorts, made specifically for reading.
The Read-Nest Cabin is only 10 square meters, but features shelving and a day bed, as well as a large window so you can watch the outdoors from your personal reading nest.
Implications - For the quiet-loving reader, this isolated cabin will hold definite appeal. Sometimes it can be difficult to get away from the day-to-day rush of daily life, leading those who grow tired of the tedious nature of daily life to seek ways to gain peace of mind. Thus, a new behavioral tribe of consumers intent on isolation creates a niche market to serve.
