ROLLE is height changable leg inspired from string tension. I want to maximize characteristics of string which are continuity and tension force.

Rolle is a stool which can change height continuosly by string. Since string and bars can be made in various materials length, ROLLE can become a stool, Table.

How to change height

1. Pull out Wire cap.



3. Twist wire cap until tighten wire.

2. Change position of leggs that user want.
wider - low height, narrow - tall height

Easy unlock system - inspired from BOA system on shoe lace.

ROLLE

After learning about the sculptural genre of Tensegrity, I thought it was one of the best ways to show the characteristics of strings. As dynamics was my favorite subject while majoring in physics, I wanted to maximize its potential. By leveraging the characteristics of strings, which can exhibit both flexibility and rigidity depending on tension, and their continuous length property, I designed an adjustable-height stand, ROLLE.

For string adjustment, I drew inspiration from the BOA shoe lacing system and reinforced this with a bolt and thread mechanism. To keep the structure as simple as possible, I used three sticks with a central holding structure.

This design allows for the creation of simple, functional furniture using readily available materials from the local area. By applying this concept, it is possible to create stools, tables, and other furniture with continuously adjustable height through a unique experience with ROLLE
