One of the recent trends spotted by Springwise comes from a company which can literally produce a hotel on demand!

Abilmo a french company offers temporary hotel rooms 12 square meters in size with wood flooring, wood furniture and private bathrooms including toilet, shower and hot water. The units also offer thermal and acoustic insulation along with individual heating and air-conditioning.

So how does it work and how does the company expect its customers to use it?

Abilmo can create a pop-up hotel for use inside or outside at such events as festivals, seminars and sports events lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Very compact when folded, they require no cranes and Abilmo’s staff can set up as many as 25 per day. And apparently , interiors and exteriors can be customized to reflect any corporate image.

In my mind the dependency on the company team to build these temporary hotels is a critical factor and as far as the costs v’s revenue possibilities, it needs some looking into.

So will the idea catch on? What do you think?
