The Cushicle and Suitaloon are a pair of conceptual designs made by Michael Webb and published in the Archigram magazine in the 1960’s.

The Cushicle is an invention that enables a person to carry with them all the essentials of living – a self sustaining nomadic unit. It consists of two parts, both of which can open out and be used independently or simultaneously. One is essentially a spine-like chassis that carries all appliances needed for living. The helmet includes a radio and a mini-tv and and the food and water supply are carried in the pods attached to the chassis.

The second part is the actual enclosing, habitable element, which consists of an inflatable envelope with “extra skins as viewing screens”. (A Guide to Archigram, Archigram Archives, pp 186) There is also the option of adding additional service nodes and apparati, allowing the Cushicle unit to develop and become a part of a larger, widespread urban system of smaller personalized enclosures.
