Mollusc-Inspired Tents

This Unique Camping Tent Opens Like the Hood of a Giant Pram

— November 9, 2015 — Lifestyle
Mollusc is a camping tent you open and close in a unique way, there's nothing like it out there.

When the sun comes out, instead of cooking like everyone else in their tents, you simply lift up the entire canopy and enjoy a feeling of openness that is as big as the universe. Watch those shooting stars from your sleeping bag or experience dawn from the warmth of your bed and with a cup of coffee in your hand. Then, if the weather takes a turn for the worse, simply bring the roof over, clip it down and be ready for whatever nature can throw at you.

The Standard Mollusc is six meters across and is designed for camps, festivals and anywhere else you can pitch a tent for a few days at a time. The Nano Mollusc is three metres across and fits in a rucksack. This version is designed for people who really want to fully experience a spectacular view.
Trend Themes
1. Unique Tent Design - The Mollusc tent features a distinctive opening and closing mechanism, providing a unique camping experience.
2. Openness in Camping - The Mollusc tent allows campers to easily enjoy an open-air experience by lifting the entire canopy.
3. Compact Tent Accessibility - The Nano Mollusc tent offers a portable and compact option for adventurers looking to fully experience impressive views.
Industry Implications

2. Outdoor Recreation - The Mollusc tent's ability to provide an open-air camping experience opens up possibilities for the outdoor recreation industry to enhance customer experiences.
