The Tent and poles of Cell01 are all produced by Mirai Techno Co., Ltd. They produce Kermit Chair Sky Blue and Dog cot as well, which has already been released.
Mirai Techno manufactures equipment for the Self-Defense Forces and marine civil engineering materials in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. They support Japan’s garment industry with our abundant experience and technology.
In order to realize the design of Cell 01, they tried stretching the fabric, pinching it and fixing it as if I was making a sculpture. They drew a line directly on the prototype with a marker to make a beautiful curve, re-designed it, cut the fabric, re-sewn it, etc. over and over again…
After repeated trial and error (perhaps a dozen times…), this beautiful tent was completed.
We would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. S, who was in charge, and all the other staff members for their hard work. Thank you!
All finished product of Cell01 are tested one by one in Mirai Techno manufacturing factory, and quality is checked through a “100% inspection” before shipping.

sunsetclimx’s products are all “Made in Japan” ( except for the Kermit chair frame )
The worthy of a special mention is that we can communicate directly and closely with the various people in charge and craftsmen.
This is exactly same case with this Cell01, and we have made improvements based on the opinions we received through direct interaction from them before it was completed.
We were able to create a better product by sharing the goal of the product with everyone involved, right up to the finish product.
In our case, we feel that it would be quite difficult to request a process like this to be manufactured overseas. We would be happy if you, users could feel the background behind the process of Cell01 and use them with even more love.
As for the price, we wanted to keep it at around 350,000 (excluding tax) though, we will be selling it for 400,000 yen (excluding tax) because of a result of looking into the specifications. Also, there are unexpected various factors such as the current situation in the world as well. We understood that the price cannot be easily purchased. We hope you welcome Cell 01.
Cell01 has a limited quantity so it will depend on the number of applications.
We are thinking of accepting pre-order with advance payment for Cell01.
If our sunsetclimax fans knows that they can reliably purchase items, we strongly hope we can reduce some malicious buyers which do resale items with high price.
Although we are warning our users on social media, please refrain from purchasing if you are intending to resell.
Also, please do not purchase malicious resold items with high prices. We work hard and create sunsetclimax outdoor gears for those who really want to use ours.
予約販売受付は 9月 25日 19時よりスタートです。
ぜひよろしくおねがいいたします！
We are going to accept pre-order at 7pm on 25. September.
Hi, there! We are very happy to announce that Cell 01 as our original design brand new tent is going to accept pre-order very soon! Please check the tent specification and details at website and sunsetclimax online shop. We are going to start the delivery after we received pre-order from you. We think the lead time from your pre-order to the shipment should be around 45 – 60 days for the first batch.
It was so long time…about 5 – 6 years since we decided to make our original tent. We studied and considered about 1 pole tent, 2 poles tent and dome type and so on. We had tried so many types of tent. We made many models and prototypes though, we did not find the best tent which could satisfied ourselves. But, we kept trying to find beauty and utility of tent. Finally, we reached to Cell 01 design image.
When we were studying about the design of our original tent, it must have comfort inside. It has to be easy to pitch it with minimum poles. Then, totally it must be beautiful shape.
We are always pursuing the design of beautiful shape for gears. Our ideal design is like a natural shape such as a plant. If tent does not have fabric wrinkle after pitch up, it must be so beautiful.
We can say for sunsetclimax original tarps, we feel that a beautiful shape makes sense from a functional point of view, for example, it is able to ride of the wind. .
The overall shape is high in the center and narrow at the front and rear entrances.
The center of the room is approximately 1.8m high, allowing users to stand ( depending on their height) secure a space that does not feel oppressive.
The inside space is suitable for 2 cots. If you are solo camper, it is quite comfortable to use it. If you want to use camping mat without cot, family like 2 adults and 1 or 2 kids should be ok.
The narrow shape of the entrance makes it difficult to see inside from the outside so that it maintains privacy. And when looking at the scenery outside from inside, it is able to capture the scenery beautifully.
In order to realize these functions, it requires 3 poles at least.
The pole is made of A7075 material, also called extra super duralumin, which is also used in aircraft, satellites, rockets, etc.
We adopts one of the strongest materials among aluminum alloys. It bends flexibly, creating a beautiful and strong form.
In addition, the lower part of a pole sleeve through poles, near the part of the forked pole has the ventilator. I was worried about where to install a ventilator without sacrificing the beauty of the tent, but I decided to split the frame into two parts to increase the stability of the frame structure itself, and also match the shape of the curtain to provide a ventilator window. It made a triangular space was created. We think it achieved this is sunsetclimax design.
これらを追求していった結果として、この独特なフォルムが誕生しました。
We finally created this Ce11 01 unique design and shape as sunsetclimax original tent.
（ 耐水圧2,000mm（JIS L 1092 A )、撥水等級3級、UV遮蔽率88%（UPF45＋）)
Regarding the tent fabric, it is adapted a 70-denier rip-stop nylon jointly developed by Toray Cortex Co., Ltd., Masuda Co., Ltd., Mirai Techno Co., Ltd., and Sunsetclimax specially for Cell 01.
The surface is treated with silicone water repellent and the back side is coated with highly durable urethane, which is a different idea from conventional tent fabrics. It is a new material that is resistant to hydrolysis and has excellent durability.
(Water pressure resistance 2,000mm (JIS L 1092 A), water repellency class 3, UV shielding rate 88% (UPF45+))
The color is an elegant off-white that stands out against the field. It is the same color as sunsetclimax Tarp. So, inside of Cell 01 is bright and refreshing. At night, the tent itself may look like a lighting fixture.
About the shape, some customers commented that it looked like the side shot of Sakura Cup and split in half. Indeed. It certainly looks similar. .
The design of Cell01 arrived at this shape as a result of pursuing functionality and beauty. For the Sakura cup, we pursued a shape that could express the grain of the wood as beautifully as possible, as well as a beautiful shape that would fit easily in the hand. But we pursued the functional beauty that we were aiming for. As I continued to do so, I felt that the shapes started to become similar, and as a result, the shapes had a similar atmosphere. . . The same designer did the both. That’s why the both looks similar, we guess. lol
The both of entrance has a double structure. The inside is full mesh (single zip), and the outside is made of the same fabric as of the tent itself (double zip). For example, it can be used in a variety of ways, such as opening the outside a little and closing the mesh inside to ventilate and stay comfortable inside. You can also roll it up neatly and attach the included toggle to the tent itself.Each item can be attached and detached, so when you remove it, there is a pocket under the ventilator of the tent body, so you can store it there.
It is removable. So you can choose with or without a footprint to suit your style. Furthermore, we prepare a dirt floor space where you can take off your shoes. This was very well received by those who experienced the prototype!
You can also use the footprint as a guide for positioning when setting up a tent, or by laying it down before setting up to reduce dirt during setting up. →In that case, remove the last footprint and lay it again.
The guy rope is “TOUGHCORD” manufactured by Motohashi Tape, which is familiar to sunsetclimax original Tarp. It is custom made for Cell01. A cool finish with black accents on a dark gray base. Furthermore, reflective thread is woven into the fabric to improve visibility at night.
The original slider developed for the sunsetclimax Tarp, which is made of SUS304. And we prepare Peg 300s, which has an atmosphere of great presence. Furthermore, we also have a special peg newly developed for Cell01. Those metal accessories are manufactured by a Japanese factory that we trust completely.
テントフレーム、フットプリント、ペグについては専用ケースが付属します。
We prepare cases for the tent frame, footprint, and pegs.
