Put your feet up and relax back into the Shopping Cart Lounger, a chair that is very reminiscent of childhood grocery shopping with the 'rents.
Remember when you used to ride in shopping carts while your parents pushed you around the store? It was always so fun and even as an adult, you still want to whiz around the grocery shop in one of these buggies. Well, now you still somewhat can in this sleek adult-version cart. Designer Mike Bouchet redesigned these grocery carts into a sun lounger. He cut the sides off the buggies, remounted the childseats as the seater's headrest and bent the back and front panels downward for comfort. The chair is absolutely stunning.
With the wheels still intact, you can push these Shopping Cart Loungers around the home and relax anywhere.
