Mobile Home De Markies: Timeless Modular Travel Camper

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 10:00 AM PDT

It says something about a design (particularly for a fast-paced mobile house) when someone can look at it three decades later and still marvel at the simple, efficient and effective use of materials and space.

Created by Dutch designer Eduard Bohtlingk, the name of this classic award-winner means ‘The Awning’ – a fitting description of the fold-down mechanism at the heart of its ingenuity.

On the road, it folds up to look like any other camper, but once on site, it deploys to have a footprint three times the size of the main volume, simply by having the walls turn into floors on either side.

Add a few pieces of furniture to these auxiliary spaces and they become functional overflow for living and sleeping, while the core functions remain housed in the central area.

Nomadic Furniture: All-in-One Trunk for Guest Habitation

Posted: 29 Apr 2013 04:00 PM PDT

Picture yourself on the road – traveling between cities to visit friends, or staying with a colleague to attend a conference. They have an inflatable bed, or a futon, but not a guest room. You have your suitcase, clothes and accessories. What is missing?

Perhaps it is the Arara Nômade by André Pedrini & Ricardo Freisleben - a trunk that turns into a series of shelves, slots, drawers and hangers to make your stay a little more comfortable and organized.

It requires no attachment despite its height, as it can be leaned against any available wall, giving it more vertical space to grow without requiring much floor space.

Best of all, the project is intuitively designed for easy assembly and does not require screws, glue or tools to put together, meaning all you need to make it is contained in the traveling case itself, which becomes the integrated base at the end.
