Roll'up is a collaboration between industrial
designers Ken Macalino, Maral Bikales, Liz
Caputo, Tyler Bernhard, Hyunseong Hwang, and
Blake Stephenson. It is a futuristic food
truck concept that emerges from developments
in manufacturing and equipment minimalism.
Roll'up has a large window in the back that
reveals the gallery-style kitchen and allows
customers to watch their food being made while
creating a more refreshing work atmosphere for
the chef. The truck's interior is designed to
be more ergonomic with a wider walk path that
mitigates accidents in addition to properly
scaled counters that consider the chef's arm
span and overall comfort. A rail system is
incorporated in the steel structure that
allows the food truck to expand and reveal an
additional bar. This along with mountable bars
on the side returns crucial restaurant aspects
to the food truck experience. Roll'up meets
manufacturing guidelines while making use of
sustainable materials like recycled aluminum
and upm biocomposites. This all culminates in
a vitalized food truck experience ready to
serve high quality Japanese-Mexican cuisine.
