About Camp Napper Aluga Feaveaʻi mo Tolauapiga
O le Camp Napper o se aluga feaveaʻi mo tolauapiga na faia mo le faʻaaogaina i fafo ma totonu o fale. O lona foliga e faʻavae i le natura, na musuia mai foliga o spores, pulou aitu ma ogālaʻau gaogao o laʻau. O tumutumu i le itu i luma e faʻasalalauina le mamafa ma faʻaleleia le savili. O pu le lolo atoa i le itu i tua, faʻatasi ai ma suiga o le mafiafia, e maua ai ni lagona eseese e fa ma faʻaitiitia ai le mamafa. O le aluga e faia i le memory foam, na faʻafoliga i ni faʻamaʻa faʻapitoa ma se faagasologa o le faʻafulafula. O fatu paʻu e le seʻe e fesoasoani i le aluga e tumau i lona nofoaga. Pe a teuina i totonu o le taga teu, e faʻapipiʻi le aluga i le lapoʻa o se ipu vai.
About the A' Design Award Auro
O le A' Design Award Auro na manumalo ai Camp Napper Aluga Feaveaʻi mo Tolauapiga, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu o le tulaga muamua, matagofie ma maoaʻe. O ē manumalo i le Auro o galuega fou tele, matuā vaai i le lumanaʻi ma susulu e faaalia ai le atamai, le poto ma le tomai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina Camp Napper Aluga Feaveaʻi mo Tolauapiga e avea ma mea fou e matuā vivii, e faatulaga ai uiga fou ma tetele, e tuuina mai ai se tau e leʻi iai muamua. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Auro o se galuega ofoofogia, ua faaaloalogia, e aogā tele ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. Camp Napper Aluga Feaveaʻi mo Tolauapiga e fatuina ai lagona malosi o le manaʻo, faaosofia le tuinanau, faalauiloa le fatufatuaʻi ma faamalosia i tatou.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The Camp Napper is a portable camping pillow with a special bionic shape. The front protrusions can relieve pressure and ventilate, boosting comfort. the blind holes on the back, combined with changes of pillow's thickness, can offer four distinct feels. The punched holes also cut down the weight and improve compressibility. When packed in the storage bag, it can be compressed to a water cup size for easy portability. Also, anti-slip rubber particles help it fit different camping conditions.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The size of the pillow is 35cm*30cm*10cm, and when compressed in the storage bag, it is 10cm*10cm*20cm. The weight of the whole pillow is approximately 400g.

- Production Technology
- To shape the pillow core, developers measured and simulated its deformation under volunteers' head, neck and shoulder pressure, then built a math model. Based on it, the bionic structure was obtained via simulation. In production, special molds and foaming process are used, with memory foam of suitable soft - hard degree as the material.
- Design Challenge
- The challenges of the project lie in the product shape design and the process limitations during industrial mass production. To obtain a suitable product shape, designers and developers carried out a large number of simulation calculations. In the processing stage, through continuous adjustment of the material ratio and the parameter details of the foaming molds, the product was finally able to meet the requirements for the yield rate of qualified products and the appearance design.
- Research
- Using Voronoi polygons, the pillow - surface structure is optimized to fit the pressure from the head and neck, improving comfort. The pillow core has high - neck, low - neck, head - pillow, and wrapping - enhancement areas. Protrusions in each area are adjusted to match compression changes during use. This structure disperses pressure, preventing circulation problems during sleep, and its grooves boost breathability.
- Inspiration
- For camping pillow, both portability and comfort are essential. The Camp Napper achieves them by drawing inspiration from the organic forms of organisms in nature. By imitating the surface structures of spores and fungi, the contact area between the pillow surface and the skin is increased, which improves comfort. By mimicking the hollow structure of plant stems, the pillow core achieves maximum weight reduction while maintaining strength and durability, and creates rich experiences of feels.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2024 in Beijing and finished in December 2024 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- The Camp Napper, as a multi - functional camping pillow, can be used in various indoor and outdoor scenarios. Its typical use is to be paired with camping tents, sleeping pads, camping chairs, etc., to enhance sleep comfort during outdoor camping. Meanwhile, it can serve as a backrest cushion during business trips or travels, and replace overly soft down pillows in hotels. At home, it can also be used as a backrest cushion or an everyday sleeping pillow.
