Pillo Lamp: A Light Source That Doubles As a Man-Fort
Posted by Sean Fallon at 8:20 AM on July 23, 2008
According to the designer, Pillo is a "modern way of living" that can be described as "furniture or micro architecture." Essentially, it is a series of carbon fibre rods covered in fabric that can be easily unfolded or collapsed for easy transport. Throw a little light source in there and you have yourself one cozy, blinding little fort for adults that can also function as a unique focal point and lighting source in a room. Obviously, this thing has the word "concept" written all over it, so I wouldn't expect to see it being sold to the public anytime soon.

It's a peek-a-boo venetian tent!

Seriously though, some dean of an industrial design school needs to find this designer and smack him around...

It's The World's Suckiest Pup Tent! Won't keep out any of the elements, but it does (kind of) provide a small visual barrier between yourself and the outside world! It's much like a set of flimsy clothes that won't move with you!

@Junginator: Why would you need a hut?
You're all by your lonesome. That means it's naked time 24/7. Spank in the open.
(Sorry that the post needs a [NSFW] tag now. Horny penis.)

So, errr, why would an adult want a 'Man-Fort', especially one that could blind you and perhaps burn you? Maybe Dork-Fort would be a better term?

If you're building forts in your living room, you're not really a man.

Definitely a step-up from my chair-and-blanket fort in my living room.
