The company has seen continuous success throughout COVID-19. In December 2020, Choco Toh of Nestron's marketing team called Nestron a \"worldwide phenomenon,\" and at one point, the company's website crashed from a rise in visits and \"extremely overwhelming popularity.\"<\/p>\n

This summer amid booming public interest, Nestron began shipping its artificial-intelligence-powered tiny homes overseas to the UK.<\/p>\n

But the UK isn't its biggest market: Over 70% of Nestron's clients currently reside in the US, Toh told Insider in an email interview.<\/p>\n

To tackle the growing American market, Nestron will begin \"entering the US market with a distribution of its own very soon,\" Toh said.<\/p>\n

\"We still receive lots of [customer] inquiries ... and it's constantly increasing,\" Toh said, noting that most of the inquiries are for its Cube-based tiny homes.<\/p>\n

At $98,000, the updated Cube Two X (C2X) is more expensive and larger than its popular $52,000 Cube Two (C2) predecessor.<\/p>\n

Wanting a bigger tiny home might seem ironic, but customer demand for a larger, more customizable C2 pushed the Nestron team to create the C2X, according to Toh.<\/p>\n

Now let's take a look inside the C2X units.<\/p>\n

Like other homes in the Cube series, the C2X design was inspired by \"science fiction and futuristic spacecraft elements,\" Toh said.<\/p>\n

Unlike the previous Cubes, the new tiny home has two floor plan options: the first with one bedroom, and the second with two sleeping spaces.<\/p>\n

The one-bedroom unit can accommodate up to three people, while the two-bedroom home can hold up to four.<\/p>\n

Both layouts have an entryway, living room, kitchen and dining room, bathroom, at least one bedroom, and several large windows that keep the tiny home from feeling cramped.<\/p>\n

But only the one-bedroom layout has an additional skylight and a double-doored refrigerator. The two-bedroom C2X has a single-door refrigerator instead.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, both come \"move-in ready\" with basic amenities and furniture.<\/p>\n

Some bathroom amenities - specifically the toilet and mirror - can also be upgraded to be \"smart.\"<\/p>\n

This upgrade turns an ordinary mirror into a voice and touch-powered unit that can control the home's functions, check personal calendars, and more, according to Toh.<\/p>\n

Besides specific smart furniture, Nestron is also currently developing an artificial-intelligence assistant named \"Canny.\"<\/p>\n
