designer's own words:

A Human Carapacho

To incase, to hide, to surround, to lose oneself, to recreate, to be born again, to withdraw, to retreat, to relax, to play, to interact, to protect , to seclude, to include, to enjoy, to become.

An abode, a shelter, a refuge, a haven, an asylum, a comfort, a sanctuary, a toy, a cave, an expression, an experience to be enjoyed, by all who receive it.

Carapacho is an invitation to humans of every age, from a large cave to a child to a cozy nook for an adult. It easily folds up into itself as there is no hard structure hidden within. Yet its structure keeps semi rigid based on the tension where the fabric meets the foam. Simply made of quilted furniture foam with baby soft yellow spandex blend and a heavy basket weave waterproof nylon.

enjoy.
