This modern two-step ladder rethinks the household helper with a modern look that demands to be seen. Sturdy and visually appealing, the lightweight aluminum-and-steel step stool is streamlined to its essentials with a classic triangular stance, wide steps with grooved treads, rounded edges, hidden screws and a sleek black finish. Besides giving a boost to reach out-of-reach places, the multifunctional folding step ladder also stands in as a stool or end table.

Created by the experimental design lab Metaphys and Hasegawa Kogyo Co., the top manufacturer of ladders and scaffolding in Japan since 1956, the exceptional Lucano ladder has received many design accolades, including the Red Dot Design, Good Design and JIDA Design Museum selection awards.
