german based duo, sascha urban + dorothea wirwall have designed 'loungebarrow',
a wheelbarrow that easily transforms into a usable chair.

a plywood cover removes in three parts - an upholstered headrest that attaches to the
top of the chair, a padded seat and a laptop desk - to expose a cushioned backrest that
lines the interior of the ubiquitous garden tool. the upright position is obtained by resting
the wheelbarrow on its front handles, providing users with a relaxed posture.

'loungebarrow' was most recently on show as part of [D3] competition for young
designers at imm cologne 2011.
