1.
2. the rollor system
• home furnishing is a growing
market
• few products on the market
have the ability to change
shape and function
• rise in the single population,
who tend to live in smaller
spaces
• cities are growing, but space
is limited
• growing environmental
awareness
market trends rollor is…
• a stool, floor cushion, end
table, exercise mat, and much
more
• the perfect addition to any
home
• the most useful piece of
furniture in a college dorm
room
• available in a variety of
shapes and colors
• self-customizable to any
shape and function
• safe and suitable for all ages
• fun to play with
3. what is sustainability?
problem statement
sustainable materials are
important in preserving the earth
and its resources
the amount of garbage is
increasing, landfills are filling up,
and hazardous pollutants fill the
air
statistics
breathing the air in bombay, india
is equivalent to smoking ten
cigarettes a day
americans make up five percent
of the world's population, but we
use 25% of the worlds resources
americans throw away
approximately 200 million tons of
household waste a year, which
averages out to about 4 pounds
per person each day
almost 60 percent of the stuff we
throw away can be recycled.
recycling one aluminum can
results in 97 percent less water
pollution and 95 percent less air
pollution than creating a new can
from raw materials
(http://www.awordfromourplanet.org/)
issues
plastics and other permanent
materials are cheaper and easier
to mass produce
developing countries are not
aware of the trash problem –
developed countries are, but it’s
late in the game
6. market trends
societal trends towards longevity and
late marriages are cause for the rise in
the single population
single people and unmarried
cohabiting couples tend to inhabit
smaller living spaces
cities are growing, but space is limited
consumers are more aware of
environmental and sustainability issues
27 million americans live alone, about
one-fourth of all households and 10%
of the population
more consumers are interested in
redecorating, remodeling, and
refurnishing as home stores are
increasingly popular

size
wiring configuration
one 15” x 72” piece is too small to
sit on the round end (as a stool),
so roll multiple mats concentrically
to form a larger stool. the single
piece is a good size for an end
table or night stand
when placed on the inside, the
wire buckled as it was rolled up. to
alleviate this problem, wire is
wrapped around the outside. the
thickness of the felt prevents the
user from feeling the wire when
seated
19. concept
rollor is a system of soft and
flexible modular mats made
from sustainable materials. the
applications of rollor are
endless! sleep on it, sit on it, roll
it up, bend it, twist it, fold it, even
wear it!
the rollor system
katie just moved to new york city to pursue a career in advertising and
is looking to furnish her studio. space is limited, so she must choose
pieces that are compact yet functional.
rollor can be used in many different ways…
how does it work?
scenario
20. exploded view
the rollor system was developed
as a modular, fun, and multi-
functional product. initial designs
were mats that could be used as
a stool, pillow, or floor cushion.
since its inception, rollor has
been extended to tabletop
sculpture, sleeping mats,
exercise mats, apparel, and
much more.

23. making the prototype
cut interior felt/foam to
desired dimensions
cut exterior felt cloth to
desired dimensions
cut wire to cover one
side and hook over to
the other side
bend wire in a T-shape
for easier rolling
sew wire to felt/foam to
secure it in place
use adhesive to attach
cloth to felt/foam interior
all done! add a colorwrap! roll it… twist it…
24. usage scenarios
after working out, katie comes home, reads some magazines and watches some tv before dinner
a friend stops by to chat over coffee and brainstorm ideas for a halloween costume. it gets late so she decides to sleep over…
25. usage scenarios
after babysitting his baby niece for the afternoon, ted sets up his apartment for his special date tonight
it’s still early, so ted takes a walk to the park and rests for a bit before he heads back to his apartment
