French designer Pierre Stephane Dumas has created a set of inflatable tents that he hopes will change the way that people go camping:

But they are far from the traditional camping trip - decked out with wardrobes, shelves and electric lights, the bubbles look more like a movable hotel room than a regular tent.
Launched this year, the structures can be now be hired out at sites across France for around £400 pounds a night.[...]
He explained: 'Having a night under the stars or seeing the sun rise and set is not something that many people experience anymore.
'A normal tent or camper van means people miss out on these things.
'So I designed this eccentric shelter with the aim of offering an unusual experience under the stars while keeping all the comfort of a bedroom suite.

Why doesn't he just make the top half transparent?
Or you know, people could just get up and OUT OF THE TENT if they really want to see the stars/sunrise/sunset stuff.
The sweaty condensation running down the inner walls.
The yellowing affect of sunlight on clear plastic.
Welcome to the future !
I can't wait to try the saran wrap (aka Cling Film for you UKers) sleeping bag.
