With a simplicity of design that technology cannot improve, the versatile Tipi can be anything from a child's plaything to fully fledged home. It forms an incredible, stable, leaning, aerodynamic cone, and has the unique ability to accommodate an open fire. The smoke flaps can be adjusted to draw air into, or out of the Tipi, so even in the most extreme weather conditions it will provide refuge with comfort and warmth. As the days grow longer and the sun rises higher, the skin (cover) can be rolled up to form a giant parasol…. comfort throughout the year.

 

 

An extremely sophisticated, nomadic people, their lifestyle demanded a

The Tipi's magnificence goes deeper than appearance. Due to design, the floor plan of a Tipi is that of an egg.

A life giving, organic shape widely believed to have positive spiritual properties. There are in fact entire Tipi communities because of this, and the particular closeness to nature that one can achieve.
The Tipi's shape is known to encourage imaginative play in children, and what child wouldn't be thrilled with their own versatile garden hideaway.
