Glamping Furniture Design: Style & Functionality with Kinematic Hinges
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.
