Imagined as an “industrial trompe l’oeil” Roll is an ambiguous project that doesn’t immediately reveal it’s intended use.Inspired by the leg presses that can be found in gyms, this original seat rejects the main role of these machines: Roll offers rest to those who need a calm pause.Avoiding superfluous ornaments and details, Valencia-based studio MUT have reduced the conventional shape of a chair to two pure elements: steel tubes and two cylindrical pads for the seat and back.

In this way, Roll combines balance, beauty and functionality.The shortlist of materials used does not limit the possibilities for personalization, as cushions can be upholstered in any of Sancal’s fabrics and twelve lacquers available for the metal structure.
