DESCRIPTION

Introducing USIT during The Dutch Design Week 2013 in Eindhoven

Finally a chair safe to climb!
USIT is an innovative piece of furniture that is both a chair and a stepladder.
Designed by Maarten Olden, the USIT will be presented during the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, from 19 to 27 October 2013.

USIT originated in the desire to create a stepladder that fits into a contemporary interior. Today�s stepladders often look too utilitarian, and they are quickly returned to storage after being used. Although it is collapsible, the USIT doesn�t have to be packed away. The two-step version of USITcan be used as a seat, the three-step version as a high stool.
Two versions of the USIT in three colour combinations will be presented.
This design unites Maarten Olden�s knowledge of and passion for furniture and industrial design. The USIT is an extremely comfortable chair, and an incredibly safe stepladder.
As an object the USIT stylishly combines wood and aluminium with innovative details.

USIT will be available in the Stores through Altrex in: Wood Nature, Wood Nature Black and Wood Solid White.

Maarten Olden set up his MO,O design studio in 2002. The office is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
MO,O�s designs are on the cutting edge of architecture and product design, on a broad diversity of scales. MO,O designs furniture and products for a variety of manufacturers, and interiors for schools, shops and exhibitions. Maarten also develops his own products and furniture and collaborates with other designers and craftsmen.

The USIT will be presented at the �Klokgebouw�-exhibition in the centre of Eindhoven.
