EXOD’s Futuristic Inflatable Shelter Tent

Using an inflatable skeleton, EXOD’s Air Station POD-01 looks like a shelter that a protagonist would set up on an alien homeworld. The futuristic form maximizes space while packing down into a sub-20 pound package.

With an interior volume of 45 square feet and 5-foot ceilings, it’s more like a tiny home than a traditional zippered tent.

Utilizing the same materials as kite-surf wings, the skeleton has an incredible strength when inflated, standing up to the strongest winds. It backs down in less than 5 minutes.

Pre-order the Air Station POD-01 in white or black at a discounted (but still expensive) $1900.

Via Uncrate:

“The design of the POD-01 is based on a revolutionary inflatable skeleton, utilizing the cutting-edge technologies of kite-surf wings. This choice of material is strategic: kite-surf wings have proven their effectiveness and robustness in the most extreme conditions.

Under violent wind storms, during intense impacts, or in constant contact with abrasive sand and saltwater, these inflatable structures demonstrate exceptional durability and resistance.

Flexible, lightweight, and easy to fold once deflated, the structure of the POD-01 becomes incredibly hard and rigid at just 0.5 bar (7 PSI) of pressure.”
