The compact camper is sold as part of the retailer's SUR collection, a line that takes inspiration from an easy going beach lifestyle. This piece is 'inspired by canvas wall tents and wilderness cabins and features a [lightweight shade structure design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor) that is made of grey and yellow ripstop nylon'. The ten offers users with the option of partial or full shade protection and features collapsible ash wood poles that are easy to disassemble and pack up after use. CB2's colorful Lean-To tent is conceived by LA-based design duo Benjamin Luddy and Makoto Mizutani of [Scout Regalia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scout-campers-tuktut) and New York-based design studio Reunion Goods and Services. The collaborative project was initially designed as part of a Hurricane Sandy relief initiative and has hit CB2 stores earlier this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Lightweight Shade Structure Design:** Opportunity for innovating compact and portable shade structures for outdoor activities. - **Collapsible Ash Wood Poles:** Potential for developing collapsible and easy-to-assemble pole systems for various applications. - **Colorful and Versatile Tent Designs:** Disruptive innovation potential in creating visually appealing and multifunctional tent designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Recreation Equipment:** Opportunity for companies to innovate and offer lightweight and portable camping gear. - **Home and Garden Products:** Potential for developing collapsible and space-saving solutions for outdoor living spaces. - **Disaster Relief and Emergency Supplies:** Disruptive innovation possibility in designing adaptable and easy-to-deploy shelters for disaster-affected areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightweight Collapsible Vehicle Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tentbox-go.md) - [Modular Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backpacking-tent-concept.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) - [Carbon-Neutral Camper Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoperson-backpacking-tent.md) - [Lunar Lander-Inspired Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kudhva-kanvas-ktent.md) - [Novice Camping Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-2.md) - [Spacious Rooftop Personal Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-cruiser.md) - [Cubic Car Camper Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carsule-portable-popup-tent.md)
