The ZENCUBE is one sexy-looking tent. The technical details are phenomenal -- just look at the corner struts (braces). They're very high quality thanks to the newly developed Twin Winglet System. Say goodbye to the boring, old, [traditional tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-dome-1-plus) of generations past.

The tents look was actually influenced by a long tradition of architecture (named Vitruv) using the theories of Leonardo da Vincis human body circle and the harmony of LeCorbusier. The ZENCUBE is at the forefront of [tent innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expedition-tent) (yes, there is a such thing) as its design seamlessly integrates both beauty and functional mobility. Can you imagine these aesthetically-pleasing tents selling merchandise at the next [large outdoor festival](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-crafts-grayhus) you are at? I certainly can.
