Example Maker BGuangdong Province — illustrative
Orbit Capsule
The white pod with the curved glass you keep seeing in your feed.
Overview
A one-room capsule unit with an aluminium shell, a panoramic curved window and a built-in bathroom — the style that has flooded social media from overseas factories. It ships nearly complete. Whether you can legally sleep in one full-time is a very different question.
“This is the one everybody sends me. It's genuinely striking. It's also the one with the fewest documented answers.”
