The idea
Banish bugs and create an elegant space in seconds
The “SKYROOM Moskito” is a flexible room-in-room system. It transforms any space into a comfortable insect free summer lounge with a blissful privacy. The perfect solution for undisturbed sleeping, eating, working or relaxing.
A magic and flexible room in room system
When not in use, the folded cloth creates a canopy/baldachin and turns the sleeping area into a pleasant place.
Elegant, easy and fun to handle, the system can be used in residential and commercial interiors such as hotels to define and separate a space – such as the bed in an open plan loft.
- Private homes — bedrooms, temporary office, living rooms, lofts and open space studios, covered terraces and pergolas
- Contract — hotels, lodges and wellness resorts, restaurants
- Hotels and beach houses — bedrooms, lounge areas, covered terraces, restaurants, spa areas, resorts
- Events and exhibitions — catering, rest and retreat areas
How the mosquito net works
The SKYROOM unfolds with a magical, origami-like rotation to create a 3-dimensional temporary space. The playful ease that lies behind this lightweight room-in-room system is not only functional but is also a real eye-catcher. When not in use, the room elegantly folds back to create a baldachin under which one can rest and relax.
