i-gloobox Made by Bulgarian designer Georgi Djonarski, this is much more than a tent. Primarily made as an innovation to help the homeless, this portable contraption features pockets made out of waterproof fabric linked together. When the pockets are loaded, they provide even more insolation for the owner, particularly on cold nights. But wait, there's more. It can be folded up so that it can be wheeled around. Awesome and helpful. More info <a target="_blank" href="http://www.designboom.com/contest/view.php?contest_pk=10&item_pk=6940&p=1">here</a>. (Georgi Djonarski)
