Earlier this week we featured the top eight tree houses we've seen for the adult set, intended to be used as homes or for commercial purposes. Today, we bring you the Treetent, the best-of-the-best arboreal amusement for kids.
The tear-drop shaped architectural tent is a 13 foot tall pod designed by Dutch sculptor Dré Wapenaar.
"Nestled among the branches, up off the ground, there's a nine-foot-diameter hardwood floor and groovy round mattress inside," Neiman Marcus explains. "It sleeps two adults comfortably and also makes the world's coolest tree fort/spaceship (with adjustable planetary landing steps)."
The limited edition mobile tree pod is sold at Neiman Marcus for a wallet-breaking $50,000!
Who on earth would buy such a thing? Well, Victoria Beckham for one! It was reported today by Now that she recently purchased a Treetent for her three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5 and Cruz, 2.
The Beckham's are all about creating a luxury Christmas for their kids though. David Beckham is said to have paid a Santa £25,000 to pay them a visit this December.
