Jeff Wilson's startup, founded by a former IBM project manager, has launched Jupe – a "space-inspired urban exploration capsule" created by a design team that previously worked for Tesla, SpaceX, and Airbnb.

Jupe is a luxurious, science-fiction-inspired model created by a multidisciplinary team of experts from housing, architecture, and engineering, including former members of SpaceX, Tesla, and Airbnb. Priced at $17,500, this design is for modern travelers seeking to escape the suffocating urban life and immerse themselves in nature. It's a portable, easily assembled and disassembled outdoor shelter that can be set up anywhere on the planet, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

The design's mission wasn't to find quick shelter, but to create a bridge, a gateway to the outside world. Just about an hour of assembly will provide you with a comfortable space featuring high ceilings, Baltic birch wood flooring, a queen-size bed, and over 1 meter of storage area.3in containers stacked on the floor (enough to fit 10 large suitcases if you want to "run away together").

Each tent is equipped with solar panels and a 200 Ah battery system, along with Wi-Fi and dimmable LED lighting. Additional amenities include a sound system and Alexa integration, a safe, a cooler, and even a front porch. Furthermore, each Jupe also comes with custom-designed furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, and a medium-sized monolithic rock to complement the space theme.

“Experiencing the natural wonders of the world doesn’t mean we have to disconnect from the uninspiring spaces of the present. At a time when most of us yearn for at least one escape from reality, Jupe is the perfect way to offer an experience that’s perfectly suited for social distancing travel,” shared Jeff Wilson, Co-founder and CEO of Jupe.
