The float—which comes from Canadian designers Andrew Greenbaum and Ian Felton—features a lid so you can rest (in peace) in your very own sailing sarcophagus.
When images of the float started spreading on social media, the project was still in the prototype stage. “Super hilarious project,” wrote Greenbaum on Instagram. “Truth be told thou, we about $15,000 short from being able to sell this to ya’ll.
