# Newfangled Blanket Forts The Soft Fold Cabane Invites Adults to Experience its Coziness By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-fold-cabane References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/46154/) & [mariedessuant](http://www.mariedessuant.com/index.php?/projects/soft-fold-cabane/) The notion of constructing a fort with sheets, chairs and boxes remains appealing to many people well into adulthood. Well, the concept isn't totally inappropriate when considered in the context of the Soft Fold Cabane, designed explicitly for the enjoyment of people of all ages. A [simple wooden structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campers-dens) establishes the boundaries of what is essentially a room inside of a room. With three nearly full-height walls, this enchanting space can be tucked into any corner of your home to create a place of refuge. Inside the [cozy sanctuary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon) of the Soft Fold Cabane is a spongey bench, a slanted reading table, a lamp and a duvet, and all of the open framework walls can be closed off with the hanging of [quilted curtains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo). Marie Dessuant and Margaux Keller have created a comfy and fantastical place to forget about the world within your own abode. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Adult Forts:** The trend of constructing forts for adults offers opportunities for companies to create innovative and luxurious fort-inspired products and experiences. - **Interior Sanctuaries:** The trend of creating cozy and comforting spaces within the home presents opportunities for companies to design and sell furniture and decor that promote relaxation and escapism. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** The trend of furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as the Soft Fold Cabane's bench and reading table, provides opportunities for companies to create versatile and space-saving solutions for small living spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can capitalize on the trend of adult forts by creating unique and stylish furniture pieces specifically designed for building fort-like spaces. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can embrace the trend of interior sanctuaries by offering services and products that help create cozy and personalized spaces within homes. - **Lifestyle Experiences:** The lifestyle experiences industry can tap into the trend of adult forts by creating unique and immersive fort-themed experiences that cater to adults seeking a sense of nostalgia and playfulness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Relaxed Anti-Distraction Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortune-chair.md) - [Inflatable Multi-Story Tent Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-fort.md) - [Pillow Fort Hotel Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-1.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md) - [Textile Igloo Bedrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takk.md) - [Play-Friendly Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-nook-modular-furniture-system.md) - [Transforming Imaginative Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiddie-couch.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md)
