From French designers Stephanie Bellanger, Amaury Watine, François Gustin & David Dethoor comes the Mobile Mini House, an ingenious trailer prototype which expans into a five-rooms mobile appartment and folds like a wooden fan when you’re on-the-go.

Unfurled into a 252° semicircle, the Mobile Mini reveals five modular rooms that cover your needs for a bed, bath, living room, kitchen and even an office. Cutouts in all of the walls allow for the various bits to interlock when it’s folded up, and, unfolded, there’s a transparent screen that pulls out to act as the roof and walls.

Even if some parts of this trailer are at an early age of development and raise some questions (“where does the huge floor comes from? Does it overlaps with the rest of the structure or is it towed in a separate trailer? What hapens with theplumbing, water or waste tanks on movable walls? How is the whole structure cooled down in summer/heated in winter? Will it be possible to have an opaque sliding screen instead of the see-trough one?”), the idea per se is really interesting and deserves funding for further development and eventually a mass production for the consumer market (nomads and nature lovers, raise your hand!).
