Reader Submitted: Triangle Step Ladder: An Aesthetically Pleasing Step Stool

Everyone needs a little lift off the ground no matter how old or how tall. However, step stools for children are static and stepladders for adults are massive or aesthetically unpleasing - both take up too much space and are not practically designed.

The objective the Triangle Step Ladder is to create a functional and practical stepladder for everyday use. Triangle Step Ladder was inspired by extensive wire model explorations of 2D linear forms transforming to 3D structures with a rotational point(s).

Triangle Step Ladder is composed of very simple and basic mechanisms to easily use in daily life. Made from walnut and ½" steel tubing, Triangle Step Ladder is highly durable to be used and stored as a timeless object in the household.
