The Wheelbarrow Armchair is an object that draws inspiration from the current "ready-made", the result of constant research by designers to break down the stylistic and material barriers to experiment with new forms and uses of objects extracted from different contexts. It is a tank of wheelbarrow in pressed metal, which rests on an iron crossbow, the latter allows the person sitting to be able to oscillate pleasantly. The iron support creates a suspended effect of the seat enhancing it and making the whole very light. The two elements are joined by three pins and are easily separable for a reduced packaging.In the training of Mario Pagliaro the pleasure of escape given by the design is a constant. The faculty of architecture provides Pagliaro with the necessary rules to give shape and design to his experimentation. "I orient my research not so much in inventing new needs, but in creating the right object, for a real need."
