The Nuovastep was born from an observation by Hiroko van Onck: Ladders, indispensable in the house to get to tall cabinets, were stowed away after use because they were unaesthetic. Our Step ladder was an example for a range of products that we call “forgotten objects”, but have become an integral part of the household. It was the starting point for a new category in design and our first major success.

This year we celebrate 45 years of design with a limited edition of Nuovastep. With a frame in oval tube aluminium, painted in fluorescent orange and steps are made of white ABS, it is available as a limited edition of 45 pieces and will be signed with a metal plate in stainless steel.
