To Inflate this Roof You’ll Should Roast Some Serious Chestnuts [Design]

This isn’t your typical glowing, inflatable picnic roof. No no. This Dutch design is inflated via hot air produced by a wood-burning oven, used to cook nuts, hot chocolate, or whatever else you’d like. And it looks amazing.

The pillowy project, entitled ” The Roof That Goes Up in Smoke ” (we hope only figuratively), is a sexy great idea. The design takes activities you’d wish to be doing anyway (sitting with friends, eating, drinking, keeping warm) and uses the heat generated to create a structure. The hot air has to head somewhere, so it’s plain smart to funnel it into a protective roof.

The setup, designed by Dutch firm Overtreders W , was installed in three locations: two graveyards and a mental hospital. Not exactly essentially the most festive environs, but the sight of a large, roasted nut-powered glow pillow probably canceled out the otherwise creepy vibes. [ Dezeen ]
