Noboru ステップラダー｜オーク材

About the design

Taking its name from the Japanese word ‘to climb,’ the minimalist and multifunctional Noboru Step Ladder works wonderfully as a seat, ladder or a side table. Crafted in solid FSC™-certified oak, it channels the perfect balance of Japanese and Scandinavian sensibilities. Designed by the Canadian Design Studio MSDS.
