A cross between a [modern tent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvascamp-mouflon-tent) and an old-school teepee, it finds a balance between new and old for those who appreciate history while wanting the ease offered by contemporary life. Available online at John Lewis, the Easy Camp Tipi Tent is roomy enough to fit [four guys inside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-land-nest-shelter). Complete with a supporting pole smack dab in the middle of the tent, it is perfect for many occasions as the website points out, including "shelters, play, centre piece, meeting area and palatial accommodation on site or at the festival." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modernized Teepees:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create updated versions of traditional teepees that combine historical aesthetics with modern functionality for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Historical-inspired Camping Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of camping equipment that draws inspiration from historical designs while incorporating modern materials and technology for a unique camping experience. - **Functional Versatility in Outdoor Shelters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design multi-purpose outdoor shelters that can serve as both practical camping accommodations and versatile gathering spaces, appealing to a broad range of outdoor enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative solutions, such as modernized teepees, in the outdoor recreation industry to enhance the camping experience and attract adventure-seekers. - **Camping Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market historical-inspired camping gear that combines aesthetics and functionality, catering to outdoor enthusiasts looking for unique and nostalgic camping experiences. - **Event and Festival Supplies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create versatile and stylish outdoor shelters like the Easy Camp Tipi Tent for event and festival organizers, providing functional and visually appealing spaces for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oversized Cave-Like Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heimplanet-cave-xl-tent.md) - [Angular Multi-Level Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokken-softshell-tent.md) - [Four-Season Inflatable Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourseason-inflatable-tent.md) - [Posh Polyhedral Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-crafts-grayhus.md) - [Sleek Utilitarian Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peaks-ivory-tent-tarp.md) - [Quick Inflatable Spacious Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cube-tent.md) - [Experimental Shelter Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayhus.md) - [Expansive Multipurpose Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-tents.md) - [Inflatable House-Shaped Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-architecture-inflatable-tent.md)
