What? The chair actually unfolds and becomes a [fully functional shower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showerclear) with [air supported walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-aero-couch). The base of the chair contains a blower, water heater, pump and filter which [recycles water to reduce usage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower). The chair transforms in just 2 minutes and has another room for you to dry off in after your shower. Then once you're all clean kick-back and relax in your chair!
