Bizarre Object: A Wheelbarrow for Benches

Japanese design collective Gelchop's Wheel Bench

By Rain Noe - March 24, 2021

in Tools & Craft

On the farm I often have to move heavy things from one place to another, whether it's buckets of manure, feed bags or firewood, and I've become a huge fan of wheelbarrows. However, here's a sort I'd never seen before, with a very specific purpose:

This Wheel Bench was created by Japanese design collective Gelchop. I allow that if I had a need to move three benches across the property, this would be the best way to do it. I'm dying to see the brief that led to this object, or who the target user is, but there's no information on the product page.

unless your surface is perfectly flat the top two are going to topple off on the first bump. I'd say a quick strap would be helpful in preventing this. that said, if the top two were upside down you may not need the notched feet with the use of a strong strap.

is there some kind of notch on the 2nd and 3rd bench to prevent them from sliding right off?
