If you enjoy the beech and days at the seaside but aren’t so keen on getting sand in every nook and cranny the answer is at hand courtesy of the Dig & Sit inverted sofa.

To use simply find a suitable spot on the beach (near the beach volley ball is often a good spot), dig a small trench, unpack the Dig&Sit “designer” sofa, sit down and enjoy the view.

You can get the Dig&Sit from Pro-Idee for £77.50 (~$150), though you could also get a big sheet of polythene from your local DIY store for a whole lot less.
