A Clever Design for a Folding Ladder
...plus the Murphy Ladder's commercial is freaking hilarious
By Rain Noe - July 2
A frequent UX fantasy I have: I want occasional-use products to disappear when I don't need them. Ladders evoke this feeling often; we've got three on the property that we use regularly, and all three are a PITA to store and transport.
So after seeing this cleverly-designed Murphy Ladder, I covet it:

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

A Clever Design for a Folding Ladder
The feet are highly-crackable polycarbonate and it wobbles a LOT in comparison to an even taller fiberglass A-frame or Little Giant type folder. It's fine for an around-the-house ladder but I'd wait for the "pro" version they're doubtlessly planning to release before replacing anything that sees any real use.
Easily the most entertaining ladder ad I have ever seen.
