Rollo, 1991
60 x 85 x 85 cmMDF, lacquered perforated metal, rubber wheelsMartin Visser’s *Rollo* table (1991) is a striking example of late postmodern design, blending functionality with experimental aesthetics. Crafted from lacquered MDF and perforated metal, it features rubber wheels for mobility, emphasizing versatility and user-centered design. The table’s industrial materials and playful elements reflect Visser’s focus on modularity and adaptability while challenging traditional design norms. The perforated surface adds visual texture and functionality, aligning with postmodernism’s embrace of unconventional details. As a pre-production model, the *Rollo* table exemplifies Visser’s innovative approach, where clean lines meet unexpected whimsy. Similar works are held in collections like the Centraal Museum Utrecht, solidifying its status as a rare and important piece within Visser’s legacy and late 20th-century design.
