An experimental ultralight and compact car top tent turns any sports car into a weekend camper. This tent is designed for those looking for a quick escape from urban life with an elevated camping experience.

Existing car top tents are designed like ground tents and feel cave-like inside. This tent's sleek and well lit interior makes it feel clean and lightweight, like a spaceship floating off the ground.

“The Romans developed a philosophy and practice they called Otium: in order to enjoy beauty, one must restrain from work in the city and retreat to the beauty of nature.... a geographical and topological method of activating the task-negative part of our brain.... a part of our brain tissue associated with self-exploration, inward contemplation and contexualization.” - Countryside?

This car top tent was designed to make it easier for outdoor sports enthusiasts to escape the city. Users who fly-fish or rock climb often have to camp a few miles away from a river or rock wall. They need to pack up camp fast to get an early start in the morning and want to set up camp quickly in the evening when they get back.
