One step up low

Francis Cayouette’s distinctive One Step Up shelving unit – which is inspired by the form and function of a ladder – is now available in a low version. Ideal for storage, it can be used alone or as part of a shelving system including several units. The idea behind One Step Up is that it is flexible and creates space in the room due to the ease with which it can be moved from one place to another. Details, such as the fittings, are accentuated and give the shelving unit authenticity. The natural ash wood and industrial metal shelves create an interesting dynamic. Francis Cayouette explains: “I am preoccupied by multiuse and products which can be used in various different ways. The idea of using the form of the classic ladder – which can of course easily be folded together and moved to wherever it is needed in the room – seemed logical. The end result is a shelving unit with visible fittings and a wooden frame, but which has the qualities and finishes characteristic of quality furniture.” One Step Up, in high or low, creates both the space and framework for cool storage. Combine several units to create your own shelving system or use it as a light and airy room divider.
