About Color Roller 傢俬組合

Color Roller是一套透過滾動改變色彩組合的傢俬組合。作為一項構造實驗，它運用基本色彩與形狀來重構空間。三塊透明壓克力板分別為紅色、藍色及黃色，交錯重疊形成豐富的色彩調板，在不同光線條件和視角下呈現多變的色彩。Color Roller以簡約而巧妙的方式，利用形狀的可旋轉特性為每個組件創造不同的結構和形態。用戶可以自由翻轉和重新排列各個部件，以動態的色彩組合個人化其空間。

Unique Properties: Color Roller is a furniture set that changes color combinations through rolling, using basic shapes and colors to create a unique spatial experience. Made from transparent acrylic, it displays varied colors under different lighting. Three acrylic panels intersect and overlap to form a vibrant palette. Minimally, the set features a hexagonal chair, rectangular table and triangular floor lamp. Users can flip and rearrange the pieces to personalize their space with dynamic color combinations.
Dimensions & Packaging: Chair: 892 mm x 540 mm x 892 mm
Table: 750 mm x 600 mm x 450 mm
Lamp: 328 mm x 328 mm x 1440 mm

Production Technology: Colored acrylic thermoforming and adhesive bonding.
Design Challenge: The first prototype of the acrylic chair was very sturdy, able to support human weight. However, the solid acrylic frame was too bulky, losing its intended light and free appearance, and the thick colored panels increased costs. So, I began simplifying the design, optimizing the structure to use minimal materials and adhesive, while maintaining the load-bearing capacity.
Research: The design research started with studying how three panels overlap in different ways. The 1:5 scale models were created to test lighting effects, leading to three basic geometric structures. The 1:1 prototypes were made with different materials and connections, especially for the hexagonal chair, which needs to support human weight. Aluminum, wood, and acrylic frames were tested, with acrylic varying in thickness and solidity. The lightest structure was selected after weight-bearing tests.
Inspiration: Like De Stijl deconstructed space with three simple colors, Color Roller uses these colors flexibly to reconstruct the world. Red, yellow, and blue, when made transparent, create more colors through layering. Color Roller is an experiment with color, exploring the geometric properties of shapes and volumes. The three components use different structures, with acrylic panels intersecting in pairs, linking basic forms and colors through construction.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2024 in Shanghai and finished in October 2024 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: Color Roller can change its color composition through rolling, allowing users to freely flip and rearrange the pieces to decorate the interior space and create a personalized creative atmosphere.
