This modern rolling chair isn't what a person might first think of. It isn't a typical [office chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-ergonomic-office-chair) on wheels. Instead, it is a large cushioned seat that is modeled after a traditional wheelbarrow. Although it doesn't embrace a bucket design, it does embrace two big wooden wheels in the front and a handle at the back to pull it when needed.

Designed by ONEMANDUO for Estonian company [Borg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b6-water-dispenser), the modern rolling chair is dubbed Rapide. Contemporary and curvy, it is a great piece of furniture to have in the office. After all, there is often a lot of rearranging when holding an informal meeting or inviting groups of clients. The modern rolling chair strikes a great balance between versatility, permanency and a professional playfulness that many youthful studios will appreciate.
