A cardboard tent specifically designed for short-term usage, the 'KarTent' is specially designed to be rain-resistant for up to three days; ideal for most music festivals. At music festivals where camping is a part of the experience, many festival goers will ditch their tent after the festival has finished. Jan Portheine and Wout Kommer recognized this terrible waste and decided to create the 'KarTent.' The 'KarTent' provides [ample space for two people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cube-tent) and all their supplies, but that's just the beginning. The 'KarTent' also provides festival camping participants with a cooler dwelling thanks to the dark interior space, which is welcome news to those heading to Coachella or Bonnaroo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Disposable Tents:** Opportunity for innovation in creating eco-friendly, affordable and convenient tents for short-term usage. - **Rain-resistant Materials:** Potential for developing waterproof materials for temporary structures like festival tents. - **Dark Interiors:** Potential for creating products with dark interiors to provide cooler dwellings in outdoor settings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Equipment:** Opportunity for the outdoor equipment industry to develop sustainable and disposable camping products. - **Material Science:** Opportunity for material science companies to research and develop rain-resistant and eco-friendly materials for temporary structures. - **Event Planning:** Potential for event planning companies to incorporate eco-friendly and innovative camping solutions in music festivals and other outdoor events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upcycled Tent Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-festival-waste.md) - [Lunar Lander-Inspired Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kudhva-kanvas-ktent.md) - [Inflatable Geodesic Adventure Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerogogo-aerotent-series.md) - [Inflatable Stormproof Geodesic Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heimplanet-kirra.md) - [Inflatable House-Shaped Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-architecture-inflatable-tent.md) - [Inflatable Multi-Story Tent Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-fort.md) - [Four-Season Inflatable Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourseason-inflatable-tent.md) - [All-in-One Camper Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campit-camping-kit.md) - [Inflatable Four-Season Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-station-pod01.md)
