Step is conceived as an architectural object that resists clear categorisation. It functions as a side table, bedside piece, or small step ladder, adapting to different situations within the home. The design follows a strict, orthogonal composition. Two offset levels create a subtle spatial rhythm while enabling intuitive use. Its compact, balanced proportions allow it to integrate seamlessly into interiors. Crafted from solid oak, Step features a refined dovetail construction. The number of joints is deliberately reduced to the minimum required, expressed with precision to reinforce structural clarity. With its restrained language and multifunctional character, Step reflects a pragmatic approach to contemporary living.
