Ever since the ‘60s, transforming, multifunctional and modular furniture lines have been rather popular with the masses looking to save space and use their home furniture for more than one purpose. While the sofa bed, transforming coffee tables that can also be used as storage and other witty items, we have seen over the years have all been very functional in their own way, we must say that none of them appear to have been as good as this seesaw bench.

The handiwork of rather imaginative artists Dirk Ploos van Amstel who perhaps find it hard to contain in inner child against the stark realities of adulthood and its responsibilities, the wooden bench looks and works just like any ordinary bench until you pull its top apart and nudge the legs together and use it as a memorable bit of playground equipment.

The artist has not given any details regarding how much weight this bench can withstand both in bench and seesaw mode. It is not known whether it is actually safe for use by anyone over the age of 13. Judging by the delicate looks of it, we are guessing half the world’s population under six years of age struggling with obesity would not be able to use it to play with (that is why they make seesaws in steel BTW). However, it still does make one heck of a bench where kids can sit and play the seesaw games on their Wiis, Xbox 360s, or PS3s.

A famous professional motocross rider, Van Vugt stars in many live-action shows down under, stars in the Nitro Circus television and also holds the record for being the first woman in the world to successfully back flip a dirt bike. With such heavy credentials already under her belt, we’re guessing racing a toilet was the only real challenge left before the queen of the (dirt) road.

With a two-way average of 46.6 mph, Van Vugt’s toilet racer has also become the World’s Fastest Toilet and has been officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. No word on whether the extreme sport professional is looking to sell her toilet racer to people looking for an alternative ride, but we’re sure we’ll be seeing this toilet-on-wheels being used by celebrities having a public meltdown sooner rather than later.

The design is quite a breakthrough because it is the right combination of portability and utility. Most showers available currently are either cumbersome to use or are way too heavy and can be hauled around only by car. But this dry bag system is essentially like a carry case. It consists of a water holder, 7 foot long shower hose and a foot pump. Measuring 5.5 and 8 inches along the sides, you can easily carry the shower around when you go out camping.

The piece is really lightweight. Also, the thoughtful design churns out hot water for bathing and depends on the sun as a source of heat. The sprinkle from this shower lasts for anywhere between 5 to 7 minutes. Refill the holder again and the shower will be ready for use the next time around. It has the capacity of 11 liters and weighs around 2 lbs.

The sprinkle comes out strong, thanks to the manual pressure system. The Nemoid foot pump squirts out a generous and even pressured fountain of water. You just have to stamp at the pump a few times while you are showering. Thus, it is really easy to use. The spray feels just right and can also be used for washing dishes or scouring your camping gear. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, then you might want to consider purchasing this $100 shower that will come out by June.

Since the chair does not involve the use of any metal which makes it just perfect for people who hate having to deal with rusting chairs stocked away in their garages for a better part of the year. To make the chair, you simply have to sew four lengths of a rag or fabric at the back of the towel to create the basic support structure. Next you have to simply insert the broomsticks into these sewn off lengths in the given manner and stick them into the sand. The chair probably won’t allow you the same level of sturdiness that a metal, nuts and bolts structure can but then again, unless you live at the beach, you probably won’t need all that support when you’re only going to use a chair for a few hours at a time.

The DIY chair is also super easy to maintain and clean since you just have to remove the sticks and throw the towel in the washing machine and in case a stick breaks you can simply substitute it with another piece of the same length from an inexpensive broomstick.
