A German startup has developed a backpack concept that can unfold into a portable sleeping shelter for people experiencing homelessness. The design combines a backpack, insulated sleeping space and small solar power system in one product. It is intended to provide basic protection for people who have to sleep outdoors.
The reported features include:
- Converts Into a Bed: The backpack unfolds to create a sleeping space, allowing users to carry their shelter with them during the day.
- Insulated Structure: Thermal insulation is designed to help protect users from cold weather and make the sleeping area warmer.
- Weather Resistant: The outer material is designed to provide protection from rain, wind and other outdoor conditions.
- Solar Panels: Built-in solar panels can generate power during daylight hours for basic electrical needs.
- LED Light and USB Port: Solar power can support a built-in light and allow users to charge small devices such as mobile phones.
The concept is aimed at people who do not have access to permanent housing and need a portable option that can be carried from one place to another. It does not replace permanent accommodation, but it can offer warmth, basic electricity and greater protection while people remain without a home.
