Dais Stepstool. Rickety ladders may soon be a thing of the past. This efficient design was created to replace bulky ladders with a set of sturdy steps. Made from sleek metal parts, the product is lightweight and portable, yet, self-supporting and safe to stand on. Whereas step ladders are typically retrieved from storage when needed, Dais’ practical, dual-purpose design means it can remain in the interior. Like a stool, the product provides an impromptu seat, but also creates a table surface and a shelf for practical use and display. When extra height is needed, Dais can be moved into position and climbed with the ease of a staircase. The steel steps are supported by a circular base. Easy to move and fun to use, Dais is literally a step up from conventional ladders.

Studio Gridy
Design studio Gridy goes by a single name, but the studio was established by two designers. Wilhelm Grieg Teisner and Lars Olav Dybdal combined their surnames – Grieg and Dybdal – to form the word Gridy. Both designers studied at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design before moving to Oslo, where they became known for creating functional designs characterised by personality and a sense of humour. Gridy have won several awards, had their work exhibited internationally and have made a name for themselves in Norway and abroad. They bring their characteristic ingenuity to Northern, designing an efficient step ladder that doubles as a unique side table. Or maybe it’s the other way around? One thing’s for sure; Gridy will always give us plenty to talk about.
