The Urban Beacon

The Urban Beacon by christian fredrik morgenstierne from norway

designer's own words:

I have throughout the process been in close collaboration with various companies and industry professionals, which in due course has helped me to turn this into a fully realistic project.
The mobile shelter will come in four different varieties. With or without light, and with or without commercial adds. In this way the users can themselves deicide on either alternative from his or hers own preferences.
“Homeless” as a branding element has great potential for further development in marketing. More importantly, it will be controversial and create new debates and discussions.
The shelter can easily be transported around as a part of the trolley. The shelter is made of PVC canvas and will weigh less than 10 kg. The battery will be useful over a longer period of time.
