David Tonkison aims to appeal to the fashion conscious user in his project Capsule Caravan, by creating a light weight stylish capsule that could be easily stored or towed by a small car.
Once you open the capsule, it splits into two pods, a “Comfort Pod” where two adults can sleep or sit, and a “Service Pod”, where there is water and power supply.
Because of the electrochromatic film in the awesome window in the middle, it can turn from transparent or opaque, to give the choice of letting natural light to come through or not.
