Roll Up

Designed as companions to Hearth, Roll Up is a set of six similar chairs. As one of the few types of furniture designed to move, Roll Up expresses the in-and-out movement that chairs make when they are being used. When in their resting position, these chairs remain static due to a friction runner mounted beneath the base. When one needs to be moved, the user simply grabs the integrated circular handle and leans it onto its three wheels, allowing for it to effortlessly roll back and forth. The base and seat are made from maple and supported by two walnut spines. Each chair has a set of three urethane wheels.

One of six

Each Roll Up chair is subtly unique. Mimicking the pips on a typical six sided die, each chair is individually numbered from one to six. This allows for the assignment of specific chairs to each player or team.

Unified Design

Roll Up uses design elements from its companion table, Hearth, including 4/4 maple slabs and walnut slats which can accept accessories included with Hearth.

Storage

Designed for use by board gamers, the base of each chair has ample storage so each visiting gamer can store the games they brought to game night.
