Folding Library Ladder, 1950s

Folding Library Ladder, 1950s

Lightweight and ingenious, this 1950s library ladder is made of black-painted metal tubing, with a refined ball-and-socket system that allows for easy opening, closing, and storage.

Originally designed to reach the highest shelves of archives and libraries, today it retains all the charm of industrial archaeology: linear, functional, and with a worn patina that speaks volumes.

Also perfect in domestic settings as a towel rack, coat rack, or decorative stand, it adds a graphic and discreet touch to the decor.
An authentic piece of 1950s utilitarian design, understated and full of character.
