A Convenient Portable Adult-Sized Tent That Folds Like an Accordion Into a Backpack

Backpack

The Melina is an incredibly convenient portable adult-sized tent that folds accordion-style into an easily carried backpack. The brainchild of third-year Industrial Design student David Shatz at Bezalel University program, the Melina was developed as a part of a hospitality project under the guidance of established designer Tal Gur.
