Japan-based company Snow Peak has launched a modular shelter that is designed to be used in a variety of arrangements, whether as a large-capacity backcountry space or indeed as a space to entertain.
The 'Living Lodge' is designed to be quickly and easily repurposed as either a tent or a shelter. In either setup, this modular shelter comes fully equipped with a massive fabric canopy that keeps the sunlight as well as rainfall out. With a covering area of 8.6 x 5.2 meters and a weight of just under 30 kilograms, the 'Living Lodge' is easy enough to transport and set up in various environments.
Available for a price of $2,000 in its original format or for $1,749 for a lower-capacity variant, the 'Living Lodge' modular shelter will appeal to travelers and outdoor enthusiasts with a penchant for entertaining and interpreting their space for different uses.
