One of the most exciting ideas to come along in a long time is Tree Tents. Sylvan Housing expands the possibilities of treehouse design with wonderful dewdrop-shaped Treetents created by Dutch sculptor and designer Dré Wapenaar. The distinctive tent design was originally made to ease the lives of tree-sitting activists. However, they also make excellent treetop retreats for campers and kids. Each droplet attaches directly to a tree trunk and is roomy enough to sleep a family of four.

Dutch artist Dré Wapenaar created treetents that, when clustered together, look like a colony of wild mushrooms.

Canvas tents in warm earth tones are arranged on multi-level platforms. They form both an autonomous sculpture and a functioning campsite. Initially sold to four campgrounds in the Netherlands, one cluster of the Tentvillage was repurchased and refurbished by the artist.

The refurbished tents were used as a hang out and chill site during the city of Nantes’ famous biennial.
