About Rollerback Spisestol

Rollerback er en spisestol designet til at passe forskellige kropstyper. Den bageste pude roterer frit på en stang, så den siddende person kan rulle ind i ryglænet og finde flere siddestillinger, mens der stadig ydes støtte. Stellet er svejset af massivt stålstang, og læderbetræk dækker specialfremstillede skumpuder. Formen kombinerer tre grundlæggende geometriske former, trekanten, cirklen og rektanglet, for et enkelt udtryk. Rollerback har til formål at gøre måltider mere komfortable ved at tillade bevægelse i stedet for en enkelt fastlåst siddestilling.

Unique Properties
Every person has a different body, and no single dining chair caters to everyone because of that. The Rollerback Dining chair attempts to be a chair for all by allowing the person seated to relax into the back and roll the rear cushion as needed to fit their body. The chair combines the 3 basic geometric shapes, triangle, circle, and rectangle, to make a aesthetically pleasing yet simple design. The freely rotating cushion provides support while allowing you full range of motion, creating a comfortable and kinetic chair.

Production Technology
The chair was welded from solid steel bar and features leather upholstery over custom foam cushions. The rear cushion is mounted on a rod that allows it to freely rotate, while providing support.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part of this chair was mounting the rear cushion. The thin steel bar frame needs to be drilled out very precisely to allow for the support rod of the cushion to slot in.
Inspiration
Timothy designed the Rollerback dining chair to allow people to be more comfortable while dining. The common dining chair is uncompromising and does not allow for movement while seated. The Rollerback chair features a freely rotating cushion mounted on a rod that allows for multiple sitting positions to keep people more comfortable while seated, while still providing support.
Project Duration
The project started in March and ended in June 2022 in San Francisco
Operation Flow
This dining chair is meant to be used however it suits the person seated. The chair provides the essential support that a chair needs to, while letting roll into the back of the chair and get comfortable.
