We presume Vlotkamp interprets to float camp, but even if, surprisingly it does not, (yes, we know Google Translate is a factor), it’s a fitting name. The camp is a series of rafts with quite luxe tents on them, all floating on a lake in Flanders, the Flemish location of Belgium. Paddle up, tie off, and unwind.

The tents were partly a reaction to Covid-19, as the designers, who also run a treehouse camp called Boomkamp, preferred to rethink a way to camp outdoor, with other individuals close by, in as safe a manner as attainable. But also: floating camps are neat, pandemic or no.

Each and every one particular gets a kingsize mattress, a tiny deck for kayak-looking at, and there’s even a shared bar.

If you read Flemish, or even if you do not and are adept at kinda looking through Flemish, you can ebook a raft at the Vlotkamp web-site.

Weekend Cabin is not essentially about the weekend, or cabins. It’s about the longing for a feeling of spot, for shelter set in a landscape…for anything that speaks to refuge and distance from the everyday. Nostalgic and wistful, it’s about how people today develop composition in means to take into consideration the earth and sky and their area in them. It’s not concerned with possession or actual estate, but what folks develop to satisfy their goals of escape. The extremely time-shortened idea of “weekend” reminds that it is a momentary respite.
