I’d call this Ladder 2.0 .. just kidding. Just a note on the side … I just hate the expression Web 2.0 and that all the new sites are BETA! It makes me really agressive! Anyway here are the ladder specs:
A useful and important object with a simple function, but with a lot of meaning behind it. We built the ladder around 3 major inspirations:
Lightness: strip the ladder from the heavy look, from the complex assembly of a standard ladder to a simple and light shape. Functionally the weight of a ladder is a main factor. From our calculation our ladder weight is less than a kilogram.
Paradox: between the outside shape and the inner shape, between the strength and the lightness, between the pure functionality and the pure aesthetics.
Climb: like climbing a tree, brings us closer to the basic nature of climbing up to reach the top, climbing as a metaphor of growth and self elevation in life.
