FieldCandy Tents

FieldCandy Tents Designed To Stand Out

FieldCandy tents do not give you camouflage protection in the natural setting, nor do they help you blend in with the rest of the crowd at the campsite. FieldCandy tents are designed to stand out.

When we saw the first images of these limited-edition designer tents with their cool flysheets, we had to really stop and think. Is it true that no-one else has manufactured these types of tents for sale before? We have seen individual pieces displayed as art, but we had not seen anything quite like this.

They now offer more than 40 different designs by 18 artists. The designs are grouped in several collections. In The Legend Collection, for example, includes Terry Pastor’s black design with psychedelic guns and Philip Gatward’s blue and yellow parrots on a grey hued background.

It was one of those moments when you think: Why have all tents always looked pretty much the same? We customise everything else, why not tents? And even more remarkably: Why have we been satisfied with those boring, standard tent colours for so long?

FieldCandy è un’azienda che produce tende da campeggio curate in ogni particolare: dall’alluminio dei pali, ai picchetti, dal cotone naturale dei tessuti alle zip delle cerniere. La sua produzione attraversa mezzo mondo: gli uffici di progettazione sono in Italia, il cotone è coltivato e raccolto in Cina, e la stampa avviene in Gran Bretagna.

Ma la vera peculiarità che tanto attrae e si differenzia dai comuni produttori di articoli da campeggio sono i design che vengono stampati su tutta la superficie esterna della tenda. Non più colori smorti e monotoni, ma foto, texture, disegni, colori.

Ora che sapete di questi nuovi prodotti contro l’anonimato dei campeggiatori, nulla vi apparirà strano. Vedrete giganteschi libri capovolti, muri piramidali, coppie che si baciano, montagne di caramelle, o enormi forme di formaggio, ma non preoccupatevi, sono solo tende.
