Cabin Porn: Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere

Product Information

Indeed, if it seemed like cabin crew got all the attention from passengers, the attraction could definitely be mutual. I created Cabin Porn 10 years ago as a collection of inspiration for the family camp I wanted to build in Upstate New York. The latter were shown at the prestigious design gallery Mint in Knightsbridge during the London Design Festival resulting in a number of commissions. It's hard to pin down exactly what is causation versus correlation—but the interior quality of cabins has certainly made its way into mainstream decor just as the qualities of a rustic outdoor aesthetic influenced fashion and style. As Klein started to share his progress and plans, the site gained popularity and people from around the world began to share their handmade homes, too.

The first cabin he built is located in beautiful countryside on the edge of Dartmoor (although it is fully portable and mounted on a modified hydraulic trailer) and comes with a sleek kitchen and living area, a kingsize bed, a wood burning stove and a wet room with a rain showerhead. Next week sees the publication of Cabin Porn, a coffee table tome full of drool-inducing boltholes around the world, from treehouses in Austria to fisherman’s huts in Ireland and mountain cabins in Morocco. Its designers sought to "blend together the best of outdoors and indoors" with a versatile space that includes foldaway furniture, a wide balcony with impressive views of a fast moving river below, and a roof that opens entirely, revealing an unobstructed look at Northumberland’s amazingly dark skies. They built everything from the foundation to the flaps, including the kitchen cabinets and furniture. The Doric columns, Palladian windows and rooftop sun deck are also a natural companion to the McMansions sprouting in American suburbs.The idiosyncratic 'Casa Tiny' in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, features a concrete exterior built by a skilled local craftsman and a stark and minimalist interior. Bolstered by images of other remote shelters around the world, the site soon developed a cult following, with over 10 million people now regularly logging on ( cabinporn.

The word ‘human’ has roots in the Latin ‘humus’, which means soil, and for 500 generations we all worked the soil as farmers.It started as many blogs do—as a way for him to gain inspiration for the eventual Beaver Brook community that he and his friends would create over 55 acres of forest in Upstate New York. They built a large deck at the base and converted the existing shed into a European-style wood-fired sauna. With that in mind, a new book has been launched offering a look inside some of the most compelling cabins around the world. Set to launch on October 3, Cabin Porn: Inside delves deeper into the wild, revealing stunning interiors and exteriors nestled in jaw-dropping natural settings around the world. In addition to the main cabin, Bill and Evelyn McGovern built a root cellar, a potting shed, a guest room, and a quonset hut.

You’ll witness the ingenuity that comes with these spaces, whether it's an interior fashioned out of stone or one clad entirely in particleboard. Cabin Porn began as an online project created by a group of friends to inspire their own homebuilding. While Klein acknowledges that these pretty pictures of cabins often have the effect of “recasting wilderness as move-in-ready” – which is far from the reality – he hopes that the book will encourage people to think about building their own rural cabin. And that is exactly what happened: Cabin Porn has transitioned from a photo collection into a lifestyle.Items purchased from Thursday 28th September 2023 to Tuesday 23rd January 2024 as Christmas gifts can be exchanged for either goods or a Gift Card to the same value.
