French design group Lumicene has just launched a cabin that opens up directly onto the landscape, for people who want a full immersion into nature.
The LumiPod allows you to become “a discreet spectator of a nature we’ve lost touch with,” with its 180° floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a unique perspective into whatever scenery you decide to set the pod. The curved windows also open up, “eliminating the boundary between interior and exterior” and letting you step out of bed and onto the grass.
Or not necessarily grass, since the LumiPod is a prefab housing module that can be settled in pretty much any landscape imaginable. Its core design idea is simplicity and minimalism, a bit like the cell, Lumicene describes it. It covers an area of 17 square-meters and features a bedroom (which occupied most of the space) as well as a toilet and a shower. “A very minimalist configuration, but without sacrificing comfort, for a unique experience of reconnection with nature,” it reads on the LumiPod’s official description.
The LumiPod takes up to six months to be fabricated in Lumicene’s studios in Lyon, in the south of France, and then it can be shipped anywhere in the world where it will take around two days to assemble. The first series of cabins will roll out any day now, right in the middle of spring.
