Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Cozy Shelter by Lambert Kamps Has an Unexpected Gentle Interior

— February 14, 2012 — Art & Design
From the outside, the Cozy Shelter by Lambert Kamps may look like a fortified army tent, but the inside is another story. While a brown vinyl material and wide woven red straps visibly bind the exterior for an image of impenetrability, the experience inside exudes a welcoming air.

Dozens of warm woolen blankets coat the bulging internal walls with a soft sense of protection and delightful dashes of color. The fleeces' lovely plaid patterns, stripes, checkers and solids are as familiar and comforting sights as the thick throws that layer your bed in the winter.

A large opening in the igloo-like structure of the Cozy Shelter is invisible from the outside, but the occupants can enjoy a vast view of the sky above and bask in the warm rays of the sun.
Trend Themes
1. Cozy Shelters - The trend of creating comforting and welcoming spaces within seemingly hard structures can be applied to various industries including hospitality and housing.
2. Non-conventional Interior Design - This trend of innovative uses of materials and aesthetic choices can lead to disruptive innovation in the interior design and architecture industries.
3. Hidden Features - The use of unexpected elements, such as the Cozy Shelter's hidden opening, can be applied across industries from product design to technology.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The Cozy Shelter's use of warm woolen blankets to create a feeling of comfort and protection could be applied to create cozy spaces within hotels or other forms of temporary housing and accommodations.
2. Housing - Applying the trend of creating cozy shelters could lead to innovative and unconventional home designs that prioritize comfort and protection without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
3. Product Design - Incorporating hidden features like the Cozy Shelter's opening could lead to disruptive innovation in various industries, including product design and technology.
