Kid’s car flips upside-down to become a rocking chair

By Naresh KumarChauhan /Jun 19 2010

Great works never die and last forever to amaze as well as amuse people with their utility and unique design in different eras. The “Schaukelwagen” by Hans Brockhage and Erwin Andra is an identical work that continues to attract people with its functional design even after over 50 years of its origin. Developed in the 1950s, the vintage German contraption is essentially a play car that becomes a rocking chair for kids. All you need to do is tilt or flip upside-down to switch between the car and the rocking chair. Featuring the frame made in bent birch and seat in molded plywood, the €600 car cum rocking chair just measures 40 x 100 x 38cm (HWD) in dimensions.
