"G-Star RAW continues to blur the line between fashion, art, and industrial design with its latest venture - a striking collaboration with New York-based designer Caroline Chao. As part of the brand's forward-thinking Art of Raw initiative, the partnership introduces The Roll-Up Chair, a conceptual, modular furniture piece that embodies G-Star's denim DNA while challenging traditional ideas of functionality and form. Launched on September 4, 2025, at Collectible in New York, the project encapsulates the brand's ongoing dialogue between sustainability, craftsmanship, and conceptual design."
"Constructed from deadstock denim and industrial byproducts like steel railing components, construction fasteners, and vintage snap buttons, it's a piece that transforms sustainability into style. Every element feels intentional - from the visible hardware to the layered fabric details, all emphasizing both durability and tactility. But what sets it apart is its modularity. True to its name, The Roll-Up Chair can be fully disassembled, rolled up, and even hung like a garment - bridging the conceptual gap between furniture and fashion."
G-Star RAW partnered with New York-based designer Caroline Chao to create The Roll-Up Chair, launched September 4, 2025 at Collectible in New York. The chair is built from deadstock denim and industrial byproducts such as steel railing components, construction fasteners, and vintage snap buttons. The design draws inspiration from denim versatility, camping gear practicality, and military furniture efficiency. Chao, trained as an architect, applies a human-centered approach to produce an object that is both utilitarian and sculptural. The chair disassembles, rolls up, and can be hung like a garment, emphasizing modularity, durability, tactile detailing, sustainability, and craft. The project sits within the Art of Raw initiative and continues G-Star's exploration of sustainability, craftsmanship, and conceptual design.
