The Foldboat is So Practical That It Could Easily Be Carried in a Backpack

Designed to be easily transported, the Foldboat will give lake lovers an extra reason to dive into the water. Max Frommeld and Arno Mathies created the 'Boat 1' with the purpose of designing a product that will be extremely practical and accessible.

Many people like the idea of going on a boat, but they're usually discouraged by it because not everyone has accessed to the right equipment. 'Boat 1' is definitely the solution to enjoy a Sunday afternoon paddling on the lake. The raft was constructed with a single sheet of P.E. plastic, and when it's folded it measures 1m, 50 by 60cm, making it easy to store and transport; this boat will make an ideal companion for campers.

In addition to Boat 1, the designers have a line of products like oars and pillows that completely accessorize the Foldboat. The oars are also made from the same material as the boat, which makes it durable and light to carry around.
