Singapore tiny home maker Nestron unveiled its largest prefab yet – will the space age Cube Two X be a hit at US$98,000? Take a look inside
- The idea of a bigger tiny home might sound counterintuitive – but the wildly popular tiny home maker is banking on its latest, larger model C2X, a sequel to the US$52,000 Cube Two (C2)
- At 377 square feet, the science fiction-inspired abode can sleep up to four people, comes fully furnished and can be upgraded to feature ‘smart’ bathroom amenities
Interest in tiny homes has boomed during Covid-19. Now, Nestron – a wildly popular Singaporean tiny home maker – has unveiled its latest contender in the growing market: the US$98,000 Cube Two X smart tiny home.
The new model is an upgrade from the original Cube Two, Nestron’s most popular unit.
The company has seen continuous success throughout Covid-19. In December 2020, Choco Toh of Nestron’s marketing team called Nestron a “worldwide phenomenon”, and at one point, the company’s website crashed from a rise in visits and “extremely overwhelming popularity”.
This summer amid booming public interest, Nestron began shipping its artificial-intelligence-powered tiny homes overseas to the UK.
But the UK isn’t its biggest market: Over 70 per cent of Nestron’s clients currently live in the US, according to Toh.
To tackle the growing American market, Nestron will begin “entering the US market with a distribution of its own very soon”, Toh said.
