This September sees the global launch of Anthropods, a new and innovative product set to make waves within the world of glamping and beyond.
Anthropods is the brainchild of Rik Currie, an Industrial Designer who previously pioneered innovative design at Dutch railway company, Nerderlandse Spoorwegen. At this year’s Glamping Show Rik is set to launch Anthropods, a new approach in the design and construction of glamping and temporary accommodation.
Anthropods not only looks revolutionary but can be sited on uneven ground and requires minimal ground work, just 4 x 600 mm square pads for the leg pads to sit on. The pod comes in either 7.2 metre or 5.3 metre lengths and are 2.6 metres wide. Available in either on-grid or off-grid versions the pods come fully fitted on a flatbed truck to site and single units do not require planning permission. Once on site they can be easily moved to different seasonal locations.
Anthropod Inventor and CEO, Rik Currie, said: “We have received very positive interest from both the UK and overseas markets and have already sold a number of Anthropods off plan to glamping operators before the first prototype has been completed. The market is growing fast both here and abroad and we believe the time is right to bring futuristic design and manufacturing disciplines to this exciting sector. The applications for Anthropods beyond glamping are endless and we see an exciting future for this competitively priced, breakthrough product.”
With unique design that’s built to last, taking inspiration from the world of aeronautics, the semi monocoque design brings twenty-first century manufacturing design processes and disciplines to the market enables pods to be manufactured with pinpoint accuracy and speedy construction times.
Featuring a breathable internal membrane and recyclable insulation, an Anthropod is an all-year product, keeping cool in summer and warm in winter. Each pod comes with a three year guarantee with an expected life-cycle of twenty-five years plus.
