A convergence of stylish
aesthetics and utilitarian design
Often, a step stool is a purely functional piece
of equipment that is stowed away or thrust
into a dark corner when not in use.
The beautiful Lucano step stool transforms
an ordinary household tool into a slim and
graceful work of art that one will never have
to hide away. Created by the experimental
design lab Metaphys and Hasegawa
Kogyo Co., the top manufacturer of ladders
and scaffolding in Japan since 1956, this
exceptional ladder has received many design
accolades, including the Red Dot Design,
Good Design and JIDA Design Museum
selection awards.
Sturdy yet visually pleasing, the lightweight
step stool is streamlined and reduced to only
482
the essentials. It exudes a stylishly modern
appearance, achieved through the use of only
formally matched triangular elements for the
legs and steps.
The beauty is in the details when it comes to
this meticulously designed step stool. Expertly
engineered, it is finished with a durable
powder-coated finish, smooth aluminium
and steel. From the secure safety latch and
non-skid feet, to wide steps with integrated
grooves for tread, each and every detail is
thoughtfully considered. Even the fastening
screws are invisible. Besides, it can stand on its
own without having to lean against a wall.
Putting a much-needed dose of style into the
domestic stool, this timelessly elegant step
stool is a must-have for anyone’s modern
home interior.
