In 45 years we have created more than 150 extraordinary design products. Each of them embodies a
strong idea and is the result of creative collaboration and constant experimentation with new design
languages, new technologies and new materials. Initially we didn’t focus only on the traditional
design of chairs and tables, but rather on objects of an everyday use and still today some of our very
first products are part of the collection.

The Nuovastep was born from an observation by Hiroko van Onck: Ladders, indispensable in the house to get to tall cabinets, were stowed away after use because they were unaesthetic. Our Step ladder was an example for a range of products that we call “forgotten objects”, but have become an integral part of the household. It was the starting point for a new category in design and our first major success.

This year we celebrate 45 years of design with a limited edition of Nuovastep. With a frame in oval tube aluminium, painted in fluorescent orange and steps are made of white ABS, it is available as a limited edition of 45 pieces and will be signed with a metal plate in stainless steel.
