As the name suggests, the boat is literally folded from a flat 2.5m x 1.5m plastic sheet and can be transformed from flat sheet to row boat by a single person in 2 minutes using only 3 components. [Agencies]

A new full-sized foldable plastic boat that can carry one person can be transformed from an 8ft by 5ft flat sheet into a rowing boat by a single person in two minutes, using only three components, the Daily Mail reported.

The 800 pounds foldboat can be folded up and carried around in a backpack.

Its designers Max Frommeld, 29, and Arno Mathies, 26, were both studying for their Master degrees in production design at London's Royal College of Art when they came up with the idea. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

可装进背包的船

       据《每日邮报》报道,只需一个人,就能在2分钟内,用3个组件把一张8×5英尺的平板变成一艘新型的塑料折叠船,这种船仅能载一个人。

       它可以折叠起来,放在背包里,售价为800英镑。

       这一创意来自伦敦皇家艺术学院的两名学生,29岁的马克思·弗洛米尔德和26岁的阿诺·马蒂斯,他们都在攻读产品设计硕士学位。
