About Rollerback Rocker Supama kėdė
Knygos tekstas: „Rollerback Rocker“ yra supama kėdė, skirta reguliuojamam, aktyviam sėdėjimui. Suvirintas metalinis rėmas laiko rankomis pjautus graikinio riešuto medžio akcentus, kurie įstumiami į konstrukciją ir fiksuojami varžtais. Cilindriniai odiniai pagalvėliai sukasi ant tvirtinimo strypų, todėl sėdintis vartotojas gali juos pasukti ir bet kuriuo metu pakeisti nugaros atramą. Kėdė taip pat svyruoja į priekį ir atgal, pridedant antrą judesio formą. Graikinio riešuto medžio įdėklai sušvelnina metalinio rėmo kampus. Kėdės matmenys – 570 mm x 570 mm x 920 mm.

- Unique Properties
- The Rollerback Rocking chair is a unique combination of materials. The metal frame is accented with hand-cut walnut inserts, giving the piece an detailed accent that allows less severe angles than a pure metal frame. The leather cushions allow for the user to adjust and roll the cylinders as they please, letting them interact with the chair in a unique way.

- Production Technology
- This piece features a welded metal frame that has hand cut walnut accents. The walnut accents slot into the frame and are attached with set screws. The piece required immense attention to detail to get the pieces to set into the metal correctly, especially the curved arm insert. The legs are attached with Festool domino joiner and the cushions are sewn with leather.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this project was the walnut inserts. In order to get the curved arm insert in, the chair needed to be welded together with the insert in, allowing no margin for error or second shot once it was in.
- Research
- This piece rested on precise geometry. Designing a chair requires very subtle angles, which only increases when doing a rocking chair. Add to that the walnut accents and the attention to detail in this piece was immense. Timothy spent weeks designing this piece and going over the math to get it right before starting.
- Inspiration
- Timothy's inspiration for this piece mostly came from his disinterest in armchairs. Seating is one of the most intimate furniture designs as it requires the most physical interaction of the user. By incorporating freely moving cushions on the chair, the user can rock in it as well as adjust while seated by rolling their back into the cushions as needed.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2020 in San Francisco and finished in June 2021.
- Operation Flow
- This rocking chair allows for the user to interact with it in many ways. The user can rock forwards and backwards as well as up and down. The cylindrical cushions can spin on their mounting rods and let the user continually adjust while seated.
