Milan 2012: Copenhagen designers GamFratesi presented this trolley with enormous wheels for Italian brand Casamania in Milan last month.

Called Chariot, it comprises two trays in MDF or oak joined by a metal structure that doubles as a handle.

The wheels have rubber rims and the whole thing can be finished in white, bright red or natural oak with black metal.

See more work by GamFratesi here, including a desk with a hood and storage based on traditional sewing boxes, and watch our interview with them from 2010 here.

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile took place from 17 to 22 April. See all our stories about Milan 2012 here, plus photos on Facebook and Pinterest.

Here’s some more information from Casamania:

Chariot is a mobile table consisting of three simple elements joined together: wheels, trays and structure. The wheels, which in common carts are usually small, are brought to the extreme size, becoming the iconic element of the project.

The rubber profile is inserted into the wheels for easy movement; the two trays act as storage compartments, the metal structure is also a handle: slightly raising the cart, it can be moved.
