From teepees to glamping:

“The origin story of BIGHEAD”

Premium handcrafted tipis

BIGHEAD started producing teepees before 2012, when the term “glamping” barely existed. Based in Slovenia, we built a craft-first company rooted in canvas and sewing.

Today we produce glamping tents across EU, but we always return to our roots: handcrafted teepees for living, events, and play.

Craft first

Every tent is a one-of-a-kind piece, created through careful handwork over several days, guided by years of expertise.

We do not pursue mass production.

Anything involving canvas and stitching. If it relates to our craft, we will gladly take on the challenge. We have extensive experience in industrial sewing.

More than a tent:
Shamanic healing space

The tipi has been a sacred healing space for centuries.

Native Americans viewed it as a bridge between physical and spiritual worlds — the smoke carries prayers upward, the circular floor plan represents unity.

BIGHEAD honors this tradition by crafting tipis that serve not just as shelters, but as ceremonial and healing spaces.

Life purpose

A tipi is not just a product. It is a living space that redefines the relationship between people, nature, and spirit. This shift in perspective is what draws people in.
