‘walking shelter’ is a mobile habitat that pops out of a pair of sneakers. conceived by design collective sibling, the sneakers accommodate a fully-functioning tent, stored compactly in integrated, netted pockets within the sides of the shoe. the shelter expands out from the back of the footwear and fits around the human body, forming a billowing capsule that encloses the user in tented material. the adapted habitat relies on the human frame as a supporting structure, an alternative to nomadic or urban living.

more commentsThis is fantastic and just what we need in Auckland ( or New Zealand generally)
Bus Shelters are a waste of money, are these being manufactured yet? Some work required to cater to the commuter market and kids going to school, but the idea is sound.
Well… It is adorable and for a good cause. But the penumbra effect of good design will take effect now. (I for one see about ten absolutely wonderful cosplay opportunities. On the techy side this is a stealth release system for one of those new mirror capes and on the not so ha, ha side…a fancy ghili suit…)
these are awesome!!!!!!
Megan you are right! this is a one off project, its not like they are trying to sell this to hikers! its an idea…
it says on the webiste it was designed for a childrens charity
this post is categorized in “art” folks – not architecture or design. It’s not meant to be functional, it’s for giggles!
