Sheltered Enclosure Pods

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Abri-Boca Lounge Chair Design Contains a Collapsible Shell

— March 24, 2013 — Art & Design
Feel how cozy those snails are wherever they go when using the Abri-Boca with its shell-like lounge chair design.

When open, this lounger folds into a semi-circular cushion that is comfortable for chilling with a good book or unfolding for a breezy mattress that doubles as a cozy guest bed. For those times when a little privacy is needed, the collapsible enclosure opens up easily, encasing the occupant within its dome-like structure. The open space between the slats of wood allow for air to circulate through the pod so users will never feel closed-in or claustrophobic, even when the canopy is completely shut.

Enjoy the benefits of personal space and the security of a sturdy exoskeleton encasing you as you relax within the Abri-Boca with it's shelled lounge chair design.
