Sturdy and versatile self-supporting stool
This sturdy and versatile self-supporting stool can be used in any space as a step stool, a bedside table or extra seating. The A Line Stepstool features a number of important design elements, such as curved edge detailing, an extended lower step that creates extra space for storage and the addition of a handle beneath the upper step serve as a grip and makes it easy to move the stool from room to room.
A Natural Material
The variations of oak
Wood is a natural material, and its appearance is strongly influenced by how the timber is cut from the log. Different cutting methods reveal different parts of the tree’s structure, naturally creating variations in grain pattern, texture and colour. For example, plank-cut oak often shows wider and more vivid grain patterns, while quarter-cut or rift-cut oak creates a calmer and more linear appearance.
These variations are a natural and expected characteristic of solid wood. They are not defects or inconsistencies, but a direct result of the tree’s natural growth and the way the material is processed.
The examples shown here illustrate how differences in cut, structure and surface treatment can influence the final appearance of the wood. At Form & Refine, we embrace these differences as part of the material’s authentic character.
”With A Line Stepstool we aimed to create a strong, small piece of furniture that can be used anywhere in the home. The bottom step runs the full width of the piece, which means Stepstool can also be used as a bedside table or side table. The curved profiles of the steps and legs visually combine with the load-bearing sides to form a coherent whole”
