So if you want a pop-up camper (I'm still inclined to tents - the real camping shelter) this is defiantly the one to get - here's the link: http://www.habitusliving.com/move/the-opera-camper and here's the article (the link has more pictures to check out).
The award-winning Opera Camper is inspired by a Sydney icon – portable architecture has never looked so good.It seems an odd pairing, but in a workshop just outside of Eindhoven, Netherlands, an Australian icon has been transformed into an exciting piece of movable design.
The Opera Camper trailer, inspired by the Sydney Opera House, aims to bring a little luxury to the camper trailer experience.
Designed by Axel Enthoven, the Opera is the result of a number of year research into the unique limitations of portable accommodation – and it seems to have taken as much engineering genius as the Opera House itself!
The Opera has a long list of features including ‘hot air heating’, teak flooring, ceramic toilet, twin beds (electrically adjustable and easily transformed into one), kitchen sink (of course), onboard boiler for hot water supply, fridge and low-energy LED lighting “from awning to floor” (yes there are uplights!).
Of course, the most striking feature of the design, the tent roof (or ‘the sails’ as we better know them), is made of exterior canvas and a lightweight frame and stainless steel fittings.
The camper starts at €24,000 (around $35,000), which is more than your standard hardtop camper, but these design features don’t come cheap. It’s available in a range of colours with various add-ons available.
While I'm posting links I'll give you my twitter link so you can see what I'm working on any given day; I try to post quick updates as to what I'm working on (they usually increase the later I'm in studio - so if you want some interesting reading . . .) - whoops! I just about forgot to post the link, here you go: twitter.com/brademery7
Have a good week and thanks for reading,
Brad
