At this time of year, camping sucks. But if designer Stephanie Hornig had here way we’d all be snuggled up in sleeping bags every night—with the help of her wonderful campsite-inspired furniture.
Hornig’s final-year project at the University of the Arts in Berlin let her explore the idea of bringing a life in the great outdoors inside for once. She explains:
“I began to compare the life of a modern nomad with camping; it’s the feeling of simplicity and independence when we’re outside in nature that inspired me. The pieces are reminiscent of the outdoor world and retain their functional character, but are frozen in their movement: a sleeping bag on legs, a torch in a power strip made of stone, and an umbrella stand with a large tabletop.”
Our favorite item is, without doubt, the sleeping bag sofa: just imagine taking a lie down in that to watch a movie. Only, we might not make the end of the movie… [Sight Unseen]

I take exception to the comment “at this time of year, camping sucks”. You’re not doing it right then – at this time of year, camping is awesome! There’s no-one around, you can camp pretty much anywhere, and the scenery is amazing. Get a decent sleeping bag and get out and camp in the snow – best time of year for it.
too right, snow camping rules, you just have to take the right kit
Most vital thing: A can of de-icer for the tent zip…
its not 100% necessary though, i know its a terrible waste but you could always use whisky or brandy (lets face it no one goes camping without a bit of booze!)
Wait, you have booze left over in the morning? That can’t be right…
sounds like you dont take enough booze!
i want one, more than one, both for me and at every one of my friends houses where i often end up drunk and sleeping on the sofa
thought it might be a student’s work
I love it ! Just hope it is both removeable and machine washable, drunk friends tend to sweat it out over night….
