"It's like an abstract composition of three boxes, but with four wheels it becomes a truck," said Jérôme Dumetz. "It was made more for the parents than for the children."

The sideboard is made from birch plywood and solid chestnut, with the addition of four wheels taken from an industrial trolley.

"It's the kind of project I always wanted to do but never took the time to create," Dumetz told Dezeen. "A special mood between children's toys and grown-up furniture."
