Roll Over chair



Completed 2017,

Whitewashed American ash,

16"W x 16"D x 30"H

seat height 17 1/2"


This solid ash desk chair features through tenon joinery, a laminated curved back rest and custom turned dowels throughout. The playful appearance is in part derived from the radiused edges and the fact that it looks overbuilt, using material much thicker than required for a typical dining chair.




 Nolan Talbot-Kelly is a designer and artist living and working in Vancouver B.C. on the unceded land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.

Drawing influence from the built environment—brackets, fasteners, supports, and infrastructural details— Talbot-Kelly creates furniture, lighting, and sculptural pieces rooted in craftsmanship and conceptual inquiry. His design language blurs the boundary between utility and aesthetic by appropriating mass-produced materials in ways that transcend their commercial utility.
