The Loungebarrow by Sascha Urban and Dorothea Wirwall is the unlikely combination of a wheelbarrow, a desk and a comfy leather chair into one remarkable, mobile and versatile design.
Recently unveiled at IMM Cologne 2011 by its young designers, the Loungebarrow can be wheeled around like any old wheelbarrow, but when deployed, it becomes so much more. Featuring a cushioned leather interior, an armrest and a deployable laptop desk, the Loungebarrow can quickly be packed up and moved at whim whenever and wherever needed. For the nomad at heart, it really is the ideal chair companion.Photo Credits: gizfactory, designboom
