Objects Of Design #15: Downtown Basket on Wheels

Regular readers will know I love a trolley and this is a variation on that theme which may be even more useful. It is basically a giant basket on wheels and is possibly about the most useful thing I can think of at the moment. As I work on a laptop and can therefore choose the most comfortable spot in the house to work in on a day by day basis (currently, like a cat, I follow the sun from room to room and often find myself sitting in whichever chair is, at that moment, bathed in rays) this basket would be perfect filled with pens, notebooks, magazines (for reference you understand) and possibly even a thermos flask of coffee. Or, you could fill it with laundry, or books or anything else you might want to move about.
