Design studio Mike & Maaike introduces Rolly, a playful yet precisely engineered side table that rethinks proportion, motion, and everyday interaction.
At first glance, Rolly looks deceptively simple. But its defining feature lies in its bold geometry: four equal-sized circular forms that blur the boundary between structure and movement. Rather than treating wheels as hidden mechanisms, Rolly elevates them to the status of design protagonists — giving motion a visible, expressive presence.
The table rests on three oversized circular “wheels,” one of which functions like a rudder, allowing the piece to glide and pivot with surprising ease. This deliberate exaggeration of scale challenges conventional furniture hierarchies, transforming a functional object into a kinetic design statement.
Crafted from solid birch with a minimal steel substructure, Rolly balances material honesty with structural precision. Its elevated center of gravity creates a sense of lightness, while its smooth rolling action allows it to transition effortlessly between side table, serving cart, or mobile display.
Available in natural wood and black finishes — as well as graphic striped and gradient versions — Rolly turns movement into a visual language. As the table rolls, colors align and misalign, producing subtle optical shifts that animate the surrounding space.
With Rolly, Mike & Maaike explore how furniture can respond, adapt, and perform — not just exist. It’s a reminder that design doesn’t have to stay still to feel grounded.
