Denim Rolled Up Chairs

Caroline Chao introduces the Roll Up Chair as a new exploration of reclaimed denim furniture, created in partnership with G-Star RAW. The design reuses discarded denim to form a flexible and durable seat, showcasing how everyday materials can be reshaped into functional design pieces. By rolling layers of denim around a simple tubular frame, Chao emphasizes both the tactile quality of the fabric and its potential for reuse beyond fashion. The result is a piece that feels familiar yet surprising, balancing sustainability with contemporary form.

The Roll Up Chair also highlights a shift in design culture toward circular practices. Denim, often considered difficult to recycle, gains a second life through Chao’s approach. The piece reflects how collaboration between brands and independent designers can spark new ideas for material innovation. With its sculptural appearance and thoughtful construction, the chair positions denim as more than a textile, instead presenting it as a versatile medium for modern living.
