A chair that rolls like a carpet!

MIESROLO, designed by Uros Vitas

With things like minimalism and sustainability coming in trend, it is becoming more and more important that we make our choices in accordance with them. Even when it comes to chairs and stools, we should make sure that not only they serve multiple purposes, but they are also easy to keep. You won’t want your chair to eat up most of the space of your small living room. On the other hand, you won’t even want to keep it empty, just because keeping a chair takes up space. However, there are plenty of innovative chairs out there that can serve the purpose of a chair when necessary. This chair that rolls like a carpet is one such chair.

Now, this is something we can call an ingenious design. The MIESROLO, designed by Uros Vitas, is a rollable chair made of wood rests connected via synthetic bands. This Dinamic Cantilever Chair grabbed the first place at Wood Agency Design Contest Belgrade 2008. Roll the chair and take it anywhere with you. When you need to set it up, simply open it to make a chair-like structure, as shown in the image above. We doubt the ergonomics, but the designer definitely derserves a pat on his back for coming up with the nifty idea.

Now, with a desire to change the class of bulky and spacious furniture, Atlanta-based designer Joe Bonnoitt has come up with a minimal furniture unit. It switches between a chair and a coffee table without wasting any time and effort.

The Fotel, as the designer calls this piece of furniture. It is basically an armchair that converts into a rocking chair. We can use it both indoors and outdoors. It features a frame finished with carbon. This makes it lightweight and easily movable. Furthermore, the modular chair accommodates the users without making them sweat, thanks to the ventilated sitting surface. The chair can be transformed from armchair to a rocking chair, without the need for remodeling. Its seat lies safely on the frame, supporting the elasticity of the furniture.

4. Paper Chair

Furniture designing, offering infinite possibilities of experimentation, is one of the most adorned designing streaks among both conventional as well as contemporary designers. Taking a cue from (possibly) a toilet paper roll, designer Charlotte Friis has devised an innovative chair. It is famous as the “Childrens Paper Chair”. It not just offers a playful design but also advocates the serious message of sustainability for day-to-day life.

Though the chair is specially designed for small kids, older children also use it. Of course, with a bigger paper roll. All you have to do is draw the paper on the front cylinder. It would then accommodate kids up to the age of 7 years. Apart from resting on the chair, kids may enhance their writing or drawing skills on the paper. Later, you may roll the dirty paper underneath clean paper by simply rolling the front cylinder backward. Other than paper, the chair is available in a carpet variation as well.
