summer lovers across the world rejoice, as french artist benedetto bufalino has just unveiled his latest car-turned-into-something project: a mobile pool caravan. in perfect timing with summer, the curious piece not only provides refreshing dips but also the possibility of driving it around across the open road, bringing the pool party to any hot location.
watch how the caravan was transformed into a mobile swimming pool
the mobile swimming pool cavaran was produced by le confort moderne for ‘les rencontres du 3ème type’
to transform the old camping trailer into a movable swimming pool, benedetto bufalino removed the roof, emptied the interiors and retrofitted the body of the car in order for it to hold the water. a ladder has been placed on the back of the vehicle, allowing people to jump into the pool. this is not the first time bufalino turns old cars into functional objects; earlier this month the french artist hacked an old ford mondeo into a fully functional wood-burning pizza oven.
