10 Weirdest Portable Stuff



Portable Fireplace
Stylish and striking, the Zeta fireplace is nothing if not original. Designed by John Dimopoulos, director of Geoform, Design & Architects Firm in Sydney. The EcoSmart Zeta fireplace is so-named because of its elliptical shape and pays homage to its Greek ‘origins'. A clever fusion of timber, leather andstainless steel, the portable Zeta fireplace sits on a brushed or polished stainless steel swivel base. The plywood body of the fire is shaped from a high frequency heated aluminium mold into the perfect elliptical shape. A ventlessstainless steel firebox insert is moulded to the internal face of the plywood, and the outer surface is upholstered in leather. The toughened glass screens that sit either side of the fire enhance the stunning visual effect created by the flame.

That's why artists Joan Korbes and Denis Oudendijk designed the Briefcase Seat so cubicle workers will have a place to sit after their long day of, um… sitting? Made using a standard briefcase, with a set of nylon straps crafted onto its body, the Briefcase Seat can be slung over any sturdy railing to provide a semi-comfortable seating arrangement for the time being.

It is also portable, which enables you to use in places that don't have electricity. When you're in a hurry to wash a few items, this washing machine easily solves the problem of having to wait around for your electric or gas washing machine to complete a full load of laundry or feel bad about only washing a few items at a time.
