Pod

Flood is one of the major disasters we do face in some countries due to our impact on the natural flow of water.
In cases of a flooded environment, there's need to get a means to transport oneself over water. This calls for having stuffs like canoes, which might not look pretty enough to have in a yard or surrounding that's not actually an existing water body.

How about having a furniture which can be transformed into a means of transport over flood water when the need arises?
Then you need a POD.
