<a title="Animal Farm Creates Amazing Human Nests Inspired by Biomimicry" href="http://www.animal-farm.co.za/" target="_blank">Porky Hefer</a> is a creative consultant that works in the field since 2007. His human nests are specially designed for each customer, context and needs. 

They can be hung from trees, posts, or even suspended stilts.

Each nest is made from natural, biodegradable materials.

Woven in collaboration with Mthobeli Aaron Bakana, this gorgeous nest hangs from a tree and has enough space for two adults. 

The nests are made by weaving bark and branches through a wooden structure.

The shape of each pod is inspired by intensive research into the nests of different kinds of weaver birds - including buffalo weavers, masked weavers, and golden weavers.

Beautiful, organic, and light on the earth, Porky Hefer´s Nests are great sustainable spaces in which to <a title="Animal Farm Creates Amazing Human Nests Inspired by Biomimicry" href="http://inhabitat.com/hush-pod-a-cozy-private-retreat-for-public-spaces/" target="_blank">retreat from the world</a> - alone or with somebody else!
