Multifunction Novelty

When i decided to focus on convertibles or multi-functional this week, i had no idea i would come across so many even it shouldn't be a surprise. These four products below were among six featured in the latest issue of Wallpaper magazine, of which my favourite is the Olive dish which i thought was particularly clever:

A Laundry Basket and a basketball hoop.
