Opera by Axel Enthoven

It is not a tent, not a caravan and not a motor home. The new mobile holiday home designed by Axel Enthoven has been christened Opera for its striking shape, reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House. The subtitle chosen is Your Suite in Nature to suggest the best of hotel rooms, but in the heart of nature in this case. The Opera allows you to stay in the most beautiful places, but with the luxury of a wine cabinet, warm-air heating, espresso bar and an enclosed teak veranda. This nomadic, contemporary living tent offers the quality of a luxury yacht combined with the outdoor feeling of camping under canvas. The Opera will be presented for the first time at the Design at Work trade fair in Kortrijk in December.

We had the unique chance to go and meet the makers, in Eindhoven and has a pleasant talk.
I think we were some of those few who saw the Opera as a real thing, instead of on a picture or a render.
We were pleasantly surprised about the amazing detail the mobile holiday home was showing us.
It takes as little as 5 minutes to set up the tent, which opens like a butterfly. It then unveils the inner suite, offering a fabulous bed, which is definitely better than ours.
A small bathroom, 2 beds, a sink, a fridge, an expandable table and a BBQ. That’s it. The concept of living stripped to its bare necessities, but offered in a luxurious form.
It must be the dream of every nature lover. Thanks to the plastic windows, one can sleep under the stars. In luxury.

The Opera was conceived and developed by Rob Vos, in partnership with a consortium of investors. Vos previously more than made his mark in the automotive industry.
