The trolley is furniture for gourmets. A riddle. ​It is not certain whether it can be called furniture at all. The wheels may make it more of a vehicle. Or means of transport. In any case, it has more to do with the wheelbarrow than with the bike.

According to the Interpretive ​Dictionary (Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, 1978):  n. Light  ​(double-shelf) serving table that can be rolled on wheels.

This is comforting. So it’s a table or a table-like, ​thus a recognizable piece of furniture.

If a serving table, ​then consumption. Food, drink, whatever.

Delicacies. ​Savories.

O Trl is for gourmets.

Not only because of its stripped-down structure, its elemental geometric shapes, its refined, ​cleverly puritanical structure. ​These just make it generous and elegant.

Not only because of the use of throughout colored, black MDF as a material, ​with additional bio-oil​ing. That just makes it unusual and shocking.

But due to the fact that it's flat-packed furniture, too.

A fact, like the Asian palm civet's peristalsis in the case of Kopi luwak coffee.

I can’t judge its effect because I’ve never drunk coffee that has passed through something's digestive tract, or whiskey served from a rolling, flat-pack serving table.

​This is where delicacy lies, I suspect.

Because O Trl is for gourmets.
