Barbican Trolley

Barbican is an architectural take on the bar cart; a vertical structure that caters to one’s needs. There's a hierarchy established in the tiers, and the handle is integrated into the top surface to meet one’s hands at a natural height. It's meant to live in a variety of settings, being an all-purpose trolley that serves more than just drinks.

In thinking about the implications of adding wheels to a furniture piece, we wanted to get away from a soft design and make something with an overwhelming sense of utility. The form falls to the background while the objects placed on the cart are elevated, creating a sentiment of serenity and purpose when using it.
