Rapide: A Lounge Chair Inspired by a Wheelbarrow

Taking inspiration from the outdoors in the form of a wheelbarrow, ONEMANDUO designed a lounge chair named Rapide for Estonian company Borg. Combining a contemporary, curvy form with the functionality of being able to move it, the chair makes for a practical seating option.

The oversized, wooden wheels not only transport the chair from place to place, they also add a decorative element that ties in the two legs and handle on the back.
