The Cocoon Tree Tent is truly a modernist nature-lover’s dream. It can float, hang or just sit on the ground (though when it’s hung it gently sways and when it floats it makes you feel like you’re in a softly-rocking womb).

To top it off, the entire interior is one huge, comfy circular bed, that measures 10 feet.

Some specs on this whimsical tent: The sphere is built with aluminum, clad in a resistant tarpaulin and weighs only 60kg!

This incredible cocoon tree tent will only set you back $14,000. Okay, that’s a bit too rich for my blood. But, I do have a birthday coming up (hint, hint)!

So, harmonize with nature, commune with the trees, or just settle in for a night of sexy, spherical bliss.

the price listed must be the yuppie price, cause there's no way the cost of materials is anywhere near 14k for this. maybe 2-3,000 maximum, and that's being pretty generous. still, this would be an awesome project.
 
$14,000? Uh. I feel like I can make that for less than $100. Where the fuck are they coming up with these numbers? Cool concept though.
 
I was just about to say... gimme the fourteen K and I'll build you one twice as good. After deducting my own expenses and labor costs... ha.

Not to mention... aluminum,,, sounds kinda shitty... even if it is a lighter weight.
 
yea, i could think of a lot better ways to spend 14,000 than that. that's ridiculous. I wonder how much it "rock" in stormy weather/gusty winds
 
oHHH... AND nOW I really have an excellent idea...

Buy one of these and at least three of those pointy topped smaller suspension tents.
Set them up in an orbit like grouping, light em up and you have a mother ship and scouts.

I bet I could get that shit on the 9 o'clock news.

Looks cool but can you imagine having to carry that thing while hitching or hopping a train.
