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.
