international advertising company anomaly, in collaboration with fabian mazzola of bitlens studio, has created a luxury camping pod influenced by THE NEW MINI COUNTRYMAN F60 — a self-initiated project not commissioned by MINI. the concept reflects MINI’s philosophy and takes the car’s compact, round shape. the pod features a completely functional living space, a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

bitlens studio + anomaly‘s award-winning concept camping pod is self-sustainable and clad in weather-sealed material, giving it the ability to withstand a multitude of climates. although compact, the pod includes the necessary amenities that one can find in their own home. ‘this idea came up as I wanted to create an idea, an illusion of a futuristic pod that came with all the accommodations a home has’ explains the designer.
the creators placed the pod in different environments to highlight the compactness of the design

more commentsI love it. It may be a perfect solution for locations where there is agricultural land available but restrictions on dwellings with foundation. It would qualify as a temporary structure but with a composting toilet, solar electric/hot water/heat could be very self-sustaining. I would like to see it on wheels and brainstorm a three part telescoping design or three modules that interconnect. Perfect for young alternative couples in Israel. Who can I talk with about taking this idea to a manufacturer?
This is a beautiful thought bubble as a consequence of Helicopter Parenting! I’m hoping there is a slow release gel coating that slowly dissolves, gently releasing the occupants into nature!!!!!
perfectly designed for a hostile environment….like Mars. On earth this is for those who enjoy the sight of nature without having to experience the inconvenience of weather, insects, animals, dirt, dust, germs, sand, rocks, sticks, sticky spiky seeds, nuts………………
