The rolling bench is an incredibly cute and thoughtfully designed park bench, designed by Korean designer Sung Woo Park, whose seating surface can be rotated by turning a handle. No more awkwardly sitting on newspapers -- now if you're walking around in the park soon after a rain shower, you can still have a sit-down without wetting your derriere.
Simply rotate the handle on the side of the bench, and the slatted seating area rotates.
Sung Woo Park has long been a marvelously creative designer with a flair for out-of-the-box creations. He has previously designed a very small USB-stick camera, a universal remote that operates much like a deck of playing cards and an LED desk lamp that is capable of using up the power left over in spare batteries.
