Announcement posted by Cocoons 02 Jun 2016

Launching in Melbourne, Cocoons lets creative people sublet their studio while they're not using it

MELBOURNE, VIC, June 1, 2016—Cocoons.co is a new peer-to-peer website that helps artists, performers and musicians sublet or find the perfect space to perfect their craft—from rehearsal spaces to warehouses and backyard studios.


With a handful of spaces already listed in Melbourne and Sydney, Cocoons plans to expand to other culture hubs around the world.


“COCOONS BRINGS THE SHARING ECONOMY TO PEOPLE WHO LOVE SHARING THE MOST: THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY.”—ADAM FERNS


Similar to every traveller’s favourite website for apartment stays, Cocoons lets people easily browse listings and book online; for a few days or even a couple of hours. 


Cocoons accepts all kinds of creative spaces for rent including warehouses, recording studios, rehearsal spaces, photography and art studios—even amatuer garage studios. Every listing comes with its own description, photos, user ratings and optional equipment list.

About Cocoons

Cocoons.co is a peer-to-peer website that specialises in non-traditional spaces for hire, lease or sublet.

 

The website was started by a creative trio who often found it hard to track down interesting and inspiring spaces, in their own city or wherever they travelled.

 

Long-time Melbourne local, now Berlin-based designer and musician, Adam Ferns splits his time between freelance work, personal projects and travel. Based in Melbourne, Phon Vongdara is a freelance writer who writes ads during the day and works on his own ideas at night. While Andy Rovenko is the creative technologist and photographer who makes all the magic happen.

 

Together, they want to build a global creative community and to inspire people to do what they love most: making stuff.
