French design company LUMICENE has just made it easier to battle the stress of city living by introducing us to this gorgeous tiny cabin called LUMIPOD.
A LUMIPOD is a small pre-fab circular house of just 183 square feet (17 square meters), comprised of just a bedroom and a bathroom, that use the company's signature curved floor-to-ceiling windows. These bedroom windows slide open to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces for the ultimate, immersive outdoor living.
In 2019, LUMICENE unveiled the circular cabin in the French Alps, calling it a "cocoon of simplicity settled in the middle of Nature to welcome city dwellers willing to relax away from the concrete jungle." While the current version of the cabin has to be hooked up to water and electricity, the company is working on an off-the-grid version.

Inviting the outdoor in is as simple as sliding open the LUMICENE window, a curved glass window in aluminum frames sliding between two rails. When opened, the curved windows nest inside the back side of the circular cabin walls.
LUMIPODs are available in 3 sizes - from a small 183 square feet (18 square meters) hotel room size cabin to a larger 452 square feet (42 square meters) family-size unit with kitchen and 2 bedrooms.
