Creative design can bring immeasurable joy and playfulness into living spaces. Case in point? The Slalom Step Stool designed by Stockholm-based Studio Dejawu. Like its name suggests, this Woud stool takes inspiration from slalom skiing. Studio founder Qian Jiang was instantly inspired by the sinuous lines left by skis in the snow, which led to the design of this unconventional step stool. Slalom features a tubular metal frame with serpentine lines and two solid oak steps. Compact and easy to grab and carry, this step stool is perfect for reaching top shelves, as a seat for children, or even as a side table. While the metal frame and legs have a black finish, the oak steps boast a white pigmented lacquer finish.
