Aman’s Latest Pop-Up Store In Thailand Is An Eco-Friendly, Modular Alternative To Heavy Construction

The hospitality brand Aman commissioned an architectural firm called Luxury Frontiers to design an eco-friendly and sophisticated mobile retail concept to celebrate its 35th anniversary. Designed as a part of the anniversary celebrations, the Aman cabana pop-up shop will be opening up at Amanpuri, in Phuket, Thailand.  The resultant design is classic, elegant, and a subtle structure that can be assembled and disassembled at will.

Designer: Luxury Frontiers

The mobile pop-up shop is designed to be moved around in various Aman properties while capturing and representing the brand’s lovely and distinguished identity. Designed to look luxe, the cabana is pre-manufactured and can be easily and efficiently assembled and disassembled without 12 hours. No specialized equipment or niche skills are required to set up the store. This allows the store to be an easy project that can be shifted amongst different locations. As a trial, the store is first being set up in Amanpuri, and will then be moved to Amangiri in spring 2024, and Amanzoe in 2025. The roof design is interchangeable and will be swapped according to the varied geographical settings.

This exciting project enables Aman to display its product from a particular region in the same space, giving a unique experience that feels true to the brand. It will include items from Aman Essentials – luxurious skincare products, accessories, fragrances, and Italian leather bags. The cabana will offer the guests a one-of-a-kind experience that is special to the location they are visiting. It will give guests an opportunity to shop in the sun next to the water.

Besides being sophisticated and a true testament to Aman’s identity, the pop-up store is a modular project that is eco-friendly and non-invasive. It does not employ heavy construction, and in fact, minimizes the effects on its surroundings. This is a revolutionary and transformative solution targeted especially for accommodations such as resorts, camps, and lodges. The impact on the environment is reduced, while also paying attention to flexibility and modularity. Once the cabana is done being utilized as a store, it will be converted into a children’s play area or a dining pavilion.

3D vases pop up from this book to add some minimal geometric designs to your home decor

Flowers are things of beauty, whether it’s a single stem or a dozen heads. They have a naturally enchanting appearance that almost makes them feel like they come from a different world, one that’s filled with color, magic, and dreams. Those are the things that fairy tales are made of, so it’s not surprising that flowers often play an important role in these literally fantastic stories, even if just to create that mystical atmosphere. It may just be fiction, but you can bring a bit of that magic to your home with this elegant book that transforms into an enchanting pop-up vase that makes it look like your flowers are magically growing from the book, creating an atmosphere of awe and wonder at every turn of the page.

A vase is traditionally made of glass, ceramic, clay, or even plastic, basically any rigid material that creates a stable vessel for flowers to stand in. These are also naturally water-resistant since the plants will need water to survive longer. The last thing you’d expect is for a vase to be made out of paper, let alone one that pops out from a book like one of those kids’ fairy tale books, but that’s exactly the enchanting story that this Flowery Tale vase wants to tell.

When you turn over the cover, you’re immediately greeted by a 3D silhouette of a vase cut out from the pages of the book. Turn the page and you’ll behold yet another vase design, equally graceful and beautiful as the first. A third design awaits you on another page, giving you the power to choose how you’d like the day’s floral arrangement to be. Even better, you can turn the book upside and it will still work as a proper vase, which means you have six possible variations to choose from.

The magic behind it is actually the glass tube that you insert into the spine of the book to hold the flower and the bit of water to keep the plant alive for a few more days. The tube can be inserted right side up or upside down and it will work just fine. All vase designs, however, have a narrow silhouette on the “top” and a larger shape at the “bottom,” so you can choose which side to use depending on the volume of the flowers you intend to place.

The pages of the book are made from 100% natural pulp paper, but you don’t have to fret about accidentally splashing it with water thanks to the “OK Rain Guard” water-resistant coating applied to the material. Whether you want to highlight a single flower or impress with a bouquet, this creative Pop-up Book Vase will set the perfect stage for your design and the epic story that is your life.

This pop-up tent attaches to your car in only 5 minutes so you can camp anywhere the road takes you

CARSULE is a portable, pop-up tent for camping that can attach to a variety of hatchbacks, including minivans, MPVs, SUVs, and station wagons.

MOGICS is a Nevada-based company that deals with convenience. Portability, functionality, and usability remain the foundational pillars for MOGICS, producing specialty items like universal adapters and wireless light spheres. CARSULE, a pop-up cabin for your car, is one of the latest specialty items to come from the company. Your next best travel companion, CARSULE can attach to a variety of car models to provide a comfortable, spacious tent on camping trips that take you as far as the road goes.

Designer: MOGICS

Constructed from UV resistant and waterproof materials, when fully assembled, CARSULE provides up to 2 meters worth of headroom. Unlike most tents, CARSULE is designed to provide space for more than just sleeping. Large enough to function as a sleeping area and a lounge space, the designers behind CARSULE describe, “Unlike most tents that are only meant for sleeping, CARSULE provides you with a living room in the outdoors and offers mobility since the simple installation makes the movement possible and easy.”

Designed for cars with a tailgate that swings upwards, the trunk’s door serves as a latch for CARSULE to find structural support. Consisting of two metal spring loops, CARSULE’s frame is shaped by four aluminum rods. Once the tent is popped open and standing in its cubic shape, users can anchor the tent to their vehicle’s trunk door with an adjustable anchor strap.

CARSULE’s cubic shape is then reinforced by diagonal ceiling tension lines that double as fixtures for users to hang accessories from when inside the tent, including headlamps and cooling fans. Outfitted with waterproof polyurethane flooring and a 4mm felt carpet, CARSULE is a comfortable, private sanctuary where users can enjoy the wide-open outdoors.

Four aluminum rods give shape to CARSULE, looping through exterior spring attachments.

CARSULE can fit a variety of different vehicles with trunks that swing upward. 

CARSULE is designed to bring you as close to the great outdoors and is outfitted with protective netting. Rising to the height of your car, CARSULE comes with plenty of headroom for movement.

Waterproof flooring lines the bottom of CARSULE to ensure comfortable sleeping.

The ample headroom allows heat to rise and for the main living area of CARSULE to remain cool.

Even when you’re not sleeping, CARSULE provides a comfortable place to move around, relax, or get some work done.

CARSULE can be anchored anywhere, thanks to the added stability provided by your vehicle.

Transparent netting protects you from the elements, but keeps the outdoors at your fingertips. 

CARSULE’s build also always provides access to your car’s storage compartments, allowing for more floor space.

Xiaomi’s Black Shark 3 Pro gaming phone has pop-up shoulder buttons

When Xiaomi introduced its Black Shark 2 gaming phone a year ago, it hyped up the pressure-sensitive display that lets users map left and right controls to the screen. The new Black Shark 3 Pro takes things off the screen with physical pop-up shoulde...

This fun-loving pop-up screen creates private spaces without the awkward silences!

Being introverted shouldn’t be synonymous with being boring. The Friendly Borders is a fun and engaging way to manipulate spaces, creating private zones. The Japanese-fan-inspired apparatus lets you instantly open out and create an almost-opaque screen made from Trevira fabric (a type of branded woven yarn) that’s anywhere from 1.5 to 2 feet in height, based on what size you pick.

The Friendly Borders instant screen comes in a neat Birchwood case, allowing you to open it up in a matter of seconds, and close it down into a tiny box slim enough to sit on your desk or in a book-shelf. Opening it instantly gives you a comfy private zone to boost your productivity, making the Friendly Borders great for offices, libraries, schools, or perhaps even in homes (especially when two youngsters share the same room!) It does so in a way that’s fun and non-confrontational, allowing you to get your private space while not appearing unsocial or rude. It’s probably the fact that the Friendly Borders opens out like a peacock, subconsciously directing your mind towards an animal that is the very opposite of unsocial and introverted! Clever, no?

The Friendly Borders comes in subtle colors like grey and mint to complement the aesthetic of the spaces it’s put in and also to prevent you from getting overwhelmed or distracted by the color. Its Trevira fabric allows it to stay clean, to last long while maintaining its stiffness, and also bestows an unusual property to it. Given the Trevira’s flame-retardant nature, the Friendly Borders could even be used in an emergency to quickly brush off a fire (although Njustudio’s website doesn’t mention it, but Trevira’s own website boldly touts its flame-retardant properties).
