Amazing!!!

Pablo Luna Studio Drops a Cluster of Shingled Bamboo Leaves into the Jungle of East Bali

Special mention for exploring out the usual food or grocery cart options. Can be developed further to make it more cost effective and integrating energy efficiency into the design.
A simple and straightforward proposal. The idea of a frame with flexible storage modules is a good one for selling clothes and other similar merchandise. Some of the other attractive features are the add-ons (display panel, portable modules, and the swing arm) - all integrated into the overall design. The wheels are a bit of a concern (especially the tiny front casters!). They won't last a single trip on our Indian roads. It isn't clear what innovation this proposal offers.
I really like how the modular grid of this project is thought through!
