Tent and hammock in one | ARK

ARK could be one of the most versatile accessories of the fans of hiking: it can be used both as a tent on the ground and raised above the ground, like a hammock.

The multifunctional shelter is not only versatile, but also quite durable and easy to store. To further enhance user experience, the designers outfitted it with an inflatable structure and a waterproof and breathable custom fabric. To assemble it, all you need to do is connect it to an air pump and wait a few minutes for it to be ready to go. Its fabric is inspired by the technology of kite surfing (a combination of water skiing and kite flying – the Ed.), making it perfect for extreme weather and terrain conditions, too.
