Lebanese university student Antoine Sayah created the Beachill mat which is a combination of a lounging pad and solar-powered charging station. This eco-friendly product allows users to charge their electrical devices while relaxing on a comfortable mat.
Beachill is the ideal beach, park or poolside product because it can act as a comfortable seat to sunbathe in or dry off on while charging smartphones, iPads and other electronics. Consumers have the ability to use the solar panel to replenish devices without wasting valuable electricity. The ultimate goal for this product is to create a reusable energy source for today's tech user.
In addition, the mat comes fully equipped with a miniature fridge that allows users to keep their drinks cold. The mat is available in numerous colors and can be ordered through the brand's website.
