A Sustainable Design
Weighing approximately 1,200 kg, the Cocoon-Freelancer is crafted without glue, chemicals, or plastics. It is designed to fit onto the back of standard medium-duty vans like the Mercedes Sprinter or VW Crafter.
Collaboration for Innovation
Spanish industrial designer Maruan Attia partnered with Schreinerei Weidlich, a skilled manufacturer, to develop this mobile structure over three years, during which a prototype traveled 9,000 km across Europe.
Materials and Inspiration
Constructed entirely from Swiss pine, the cabin draws inspiration from Alpine architecture and Japanese wooden construction. The timber is harvested during the waning moon in winter, ensuring optimal durability and resistance to insects and mold.
