Step stools, painting ladders, the fancy ones you can buy from Moss, and of course, the old ladder in your closet held together by one rusty bolt--these are all different, but still, very much the same, stair-like contraptions. Barcelona, Spain-based designers Sergio Mahler and George Papadogiannis have developed the Cima Ladder, a height-enhancing object like no other. It is a single component composed of a carbon fiber composite and it's super light, visually and physically. Weighing in at less than a kilogram, Cima is easily transportable but also extremely strong and able to support the weight of the user who climbs in the spirit and formation of climbing a tree.
The composite materials gives us the opportunity to re-think and redefine the ladder, to come out of the closet and stand proudly in the salon of the house.
This way of re-thinking the ladder brings life to a normally unnoticed but important tool that goes beyond the pure function.
Cima was selected as one of 20 products chosen for the Composites-on-Tour exhibition organized by Design Flanders, Belgium, and is currently making the second half of its international rounds.
Jeannie is a true jack-of-all trades, looks forward to a day gone swimmingly, and finds joy in all things awesome. Brilliant art, rocking the renegade music scene, conjuring up haute designs, other people's hot designs, tasty salad, trashy magazines and unicorns are some of the many things she is passionate about.
