New York-Based Architect Introduces Innovative Furniture Piece: The Roll-Up Chair
Caroline Chao, an architect by training with degrees from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, has made a splash in the design world with her latest creation - the Roll-Up Chair. Based in New York, Chao unveiled the unique furniture piece on September 4, 2025, as part of G-STAR's Art of Raw platform.
The Roll-Up Chair, a fusion of practicality and style, is designed to be both functional and versatile. Its steel-tubed frame is fitted with quilted denim rolls that fasten with silver snaps, giving it a distinctive and rugged look. The materials used in the chair include industrial stock and reclaimed chrome, adding to its sturdy and durable nature.
The design of the Roll-Up Chair focuses on the essentials, prioritizing a seat and a back for support. The denim elements are constructed using long strips that are rolled into cushions, providing a comfortable seating experience. The chair can be disassembled and packed down for storage when not in use, making it perfect for compact city living or camping trips.
The Roll-Up Chair's design is influenced by pragmatic considerations such as camping gear, military furniture, and compact city living. It is not intended to be a desk chair, but is still suitable for sitting. The chair's unique selling point, however, is its ability to fold, store, and hang like a garment, making it a stylish addition to any space.
Chao's design also utilizes byproduct as raw material. The Roll-Up Chair is made from reclaimed G-STAR denim, giving it a unique patina that evolves after it leaves the studio. The chair's construction, including the roll-up chair construction used in reclaimed G-STAR jeans, was developed by Chao herself.
The Roll-Up Chair is an expansion of G-STAR's ongoing experiment with denim as a design medium. As a commission for G-STAR's Art of Raw platform, the Roll-Up Chair feels both straightforward and new, asking tighter questions about space, storage, and use. With its innovative design and practical functionality, the Roll-Up Chair is set to revolutionize the furniture industry.
