    Sleeping in a sphere - where's that?

    These silver coverings had been made for this special event. As a village for overnight stays there were 6 units on the Mont Vully Hill in Switzerland.

    After arriving at the ArchaBall Village, there was a larger tent serving the guests as a reception and lounge and also as a breakfast buffet room.

    Because of the textile membranes used inside the bed frames it only takes light camping mats to lie comfortably.

    Because of the large skylight with ∅ 130cm it is bright during the day and you can see the stars at night.

    There are of course many other use cases for these spheric tents like kiosks, infodesks or market stand.

The Archaball tents were initially designed for overnight stays.

They served as lodging units during the Swiss national exposition Expo02 and were located on Mont Vully, overseeing three lakes. Although it is a rather small room, there is enough space for luggage, shoes and a wardrobe.

The sphere is convertible for example with a double bed and accessories, for romantic nights, or for living in a small space.
