The ongoing Japan’s aging society has witnessed a surge in number of funerals with every passing day, which poses a handicap before the restricted space options. This has led to the evolution of creative alternatives; hence generating a god deal of death business here in Japan.

The mobile concept comes outfitted with a large tank along with a smaller one called the clean tank. The functionality of the concept details from haulage, filtration and storage of water for use in the developing era. While peddling, the pump connected to the knob will pull water from the large water tank (passing through the filter) and lastly to the clean tank.

Alright, the catchy headline might seem a big vague as in terms of functionality it’s not a Matrix Unplugged chair and rather is nuclear powered.

Designed and developed by Zoran Milivojevic, an artist and machinist, the chair sports working mechanical hydraulics used for regulating chair’s location and ergonomics.
