Usit, also known as a Stepladder chair is designed by the Dutch designer Maarten Olden. It is not only elegant and modern but a very functional and space saving furniture piece which combines two functions. An exceptional design which will easily fit in any interior.
The inspiration behind the design of this space saving furniture piece was the nostalgic memory for the designer’s grandmother’s kitchen and a steel stool with a wooden seat and retractable steps which he used as a child. Inevitably the question of bringing back to life the ladder-chair and use it for daily routine activities came. Maarten Olden created Usit by giving a home ladder a second function, a modern appearance and simple but elegant vision. The chair-stair combination is especially suitable for small or limited areas as it offers a comfortable seat and if necessary, immediately turns into a safe and stable ladder. The chair has comfortable armrests and backrest and the ladder features non-slip steps.
This marvelous space-saving furniture piece is available in a two-step version as a chair and in a three-step option for use as a high stool. Manufactured from laminated wood and anodized aluminum, Usit has three color combinations – Wood Nature, Wood Nature Black and Wood Solid White. The materials make it very light without losing the stability. The Stepladder chair will easily find its place in a shop, the kitchen, the living room, as a bar stool or office chair.
