"Barbie goes glamping" in this week's Dezeen Debate

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features an all-pink concept car by Swedish designer Gustaf Westman for Mercedes-Benz. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

Westman has unveiled a pink reinterpretation of Mercedes-Benz's CLA model, designed with "all the features that you need for a day in nature", including a built-in tent.

Commenters were amused by the design, with one saying, "Barbie goes glamping," and another calling it "fun," but suggesting that it "may have been more impactful as a generic car".

Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included a school in India with a banana leaf-shaped roof, "the world's slimmest vacuum cleaner" unveiled by Dyson and a concrete museum in Lithuania.
