CABIN PORN
Steven Leckart Noah Kalina Zach Klein
Inspiration for Your Quiet Place Somewhere
Rural escapes for those yearning for a simpler existence, by the creators of the wildly popular tumblr Cabin Porn.
As cities crowd, high-rises grow, and the internet continues to wrap its tentacles ever more tightly around our brains, we lingingly daydream of a simpler existence. The remote cabin tucked away in the wilderness is such an iconic image that it's inspired everything from literature and television to toy and candle aromas.
Created by a group of friends who preserve 55 acres of hidden forest in Upstate New York-Cabin Porn began as a scrapbook to collect inspiration for their building projects. As the collection grew, the site attracted a following, which is now a huge and obsessive audience.
The site features photos of the most remarkable handmade homes in the backcountry of America and all over the world. It has had over 10 million unique visitors, with 350,000 followers on Tumblr. Now Zach Klein, the creator of the site (and a co-founder of Vimeo) goes further into the most alluring images from the site and new getaways, including more interior photography and how-to advice for setting up a quiet place somewhere.
With their idyllic settings, unique architecture and cozy interiors, the Cabin Porn photographs, are an invitation to slow down, take a deep breath, and feel the beauty and serenity that nature and simple construction can create.
Zach Klein is co-founder ofDIY, a service to help kids learn skills together. He is also known for co-founding and designing Vimeo, the fiftieth largest website in the world with more than twenty million users. Zach is a partner at Founder Collective, the seed-stage venture capital firm based in New York City, and formerly a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts' MFA program in Interaction Design. he lives in San Francisco, and travels regularly to Beaver Brook, which is home to the Beaver Brook School, an eight-day sprint to design and make a building.
