By reimagining familiar household forms including seating, vessels, lighting and storage, Rollins produces sculptural objects that sit between art, design and architecture.
Holly Rollins is a London based artist, interior architect and designer whose work examines domestic space as a site of cultural memory and authorship. Working across furniture, vessels and spatial installations through her practice ROLSTUDIO, she explores how objects and interiors function as carriers of diasporic knowledge.
Her work draws on Caribbean matrifocal family structures, intergenerational memory and the emotional landscapes of domestic life. By reimagining familiar household forms including seating, vessels, lighting and storage, Rollins produces sculptural objects that sit between art, design and architecture. Many of these forms reference the body, exploring themes of care, intimacy, inheritance and belonging.
Material experimentation is central to her practice. Working with clay, wood, memory foam and modular systems, she creates tactile objects that invite bodily interaction while reflecting on the cultural and psychological narratives embedded within everyday environments.
Alongside her studio practice, Rollins is an educator and researcher, lecturing and facilitating workshops at institutions including the Design Museum, Kingston University and the Royal College of Art. Her research focuses on psyche-tecture and neuro-architecture, investigating how spatial environments shape emotional memory, identity and behaviour. Through both practice and research, Rollins positions domestic space not simply as shelter, but as an archive of lived experience.
