Luminair: Tree Tent  Tech

Luminair has created Tree Tent, a tree top outdoor living with lightweight and efficient structure. The concept is a unique and have easily transported. Hybrid aluminium, green ash static airframe and 100% cotton canvas skin as materials.

Designer’s description:

Tree Tents are lightweight, hybrid aluminium and steam bent, green ash static airframes. They enable minimal impact living in the trees. The spherical structure is encompassed by a 16oz / 455gsm rot and waterproofed 100% cotton canvas tailoured by The Lindstrand hot air balloon factory famed for their earth and space bound Technical fabric structures, airships and balloon projects.

The Tent is akin to an airship in many ways, its dirigible structure blends two very different but similar engineering materials – aluminium and wood; with inspiration and design ques taken heavily from early zeppelin engineering and early lightweight aircraft design..
