The term "roughing it" doesn’t apply to "glamping."
Short for glamorous camping, glamping is a way for people to connect with nature without sacrificing the comforts of modern living. In fact, glamping brings a bit of luxury to a camping scenario.
When designing glamping furniture, the key is to balance style and functionality.
One crucial component in achieving this balance is using kinematic hinges. These innovative hinges add an element of luxury to glamping furniture design and provide smooth and controlled motion, making them an essential feature for glamping furniture.

Motion control design prototypes offer a fairly long list of benefits. Some are obvious, others not so much. The advantages of motion control prototyping include:
- Makes the product cheaper in the long term
- Cuts down on lead time
- Proof of concept
- Hands-on lesson in design and assembly
- Helps with large-scale, full-product prototyping
- Helps get product certification before investing in tooling
- Early buy-in from sales and marketing
- Enhance safety

Prototypes validate designs. Just as -- or possibly more -- important, they validate designs before they go into production.
