Furniture is constantly evolving, aligning with the changes in style and taste of users over the centuries. Lately, the industry has started giving more importance to utility, functionality, and aesthetics. To that accord, the Rolly table is a visually dynamic, mobile, and simply functional piece of furniture, meeting the mentioned criteria. Designed and produced by the San Francisco design studio Mike & Maaike, founded by Simonian and Maaike Evers, Rolly is a table that can be moved around, made of four identical and uniform wooden circles – three vertical as a base and one horizontal for the tabletop – adding a fun geometric element, which is clean and coherent.
The design for Rolly table takes cues from the bar cart form. The studio crafted it to be moveable with two stationary wheels and a rear wheel in the middle that swivels and acts like the rudder of a boat, maneuvering the table through spaces with gentleness and ease without any hindrance. The swiveling wheel is operated by the top circle, acting as both a surface for placing various objects and as a wheel, connected to the swivel wheel by a trailing arm.
Merging mobility with functionality, Rolly table is as functional as any ordinary furniture, maybe more. When Rolly is stationary, it can double as a table to display various decorative antiques, or as a serving cart, thanks to its mobility that maximizes its use and functionality as furniture piece.

A simple and minimal steel frame connects the wheels of the table, enabling smooth movement. Additionally, there are no screws in sight, allowing users to fully concentrate on the table’s interesting optical dynamics (moving or not) and keep the wooden circles, with form and function being the focal point of admiration.
The wheels and tabletop are crafted in solid ash wood, painted in multiple colors. The other one is the multi-ply wood, finished in ash veneer. It is decorated with black and white stripes as the graphic element, enhancing the table’s sculptural presence, as well as creating a captivating visual effect when rotated. The Rolly table offers a playful and hybrid solution for living spaces, responding to both aesthetic and functional criteria through movement and functionality.
