The old saying goes “God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands.” Now that global warming is starting to become a serious concern, this below-sea-level, man-made nation of dikes and levies is starting to feel the heat and plan for a wet future. Recently, we are starting to see a lot of Dutch designers churning out products that will help you stay afloat in the coming water-world. We mentioned Waterstudio’s floating houses last year, and now we’ve discovered some floating chairs to go with it! PS Lab’s ChairBag is an inflatable bean-bag chair turned buoy. This water resistant addition to any home will provide a safe floating haven when the North Sea breaks through the dikes or the ground sinks out from under your feet. It also looks like a lot of fun for kids, even when high and dry.
