It is neither a tent nor a caravan. Wingcube is a prototype of a mobile micro-dwelling currently under development by a team of German designers. On the road it appears as a compact white parallelepiped; once opened, it transforms into a livable space capable of accommodating four to eight people.
The closed module measures 2.5 × 1.2 meters, with a height of 2.1 meters. The rigid central structure expands through an accordion-like system: two lateral elements in flexible yet durable plastic unfold outward, increasing the internal surface and defining an arched enclosure. The principle is that of the transformable device, where furniture and architecture coincide within a single mechanism—a design logic that recalls the experimental approach of Joe Colombo.
