Step Ladder by Karl Malmvall
• $330
• Design House Stockholm
The nicest step ladder that I know of - in glossy Chinese red. It was introduced just a few years ago, but has quickly become a classic. DH Stockholm's high design step ladder is made of lacquered wood, folds totally flat, and can elegantly be hung on the wall with its own nicely machined metal peg. Red, black, or white: “Just fold the ladder and hang it on the wall. It’s only 50 mm thick, and always ready to be used.”

A step lader for $330.00??? Really...I'd rather buy the art.
$330 for a beautiful work of design that will be stored in the closet 99% of the year. And what's the load rating?
Not tall enough for moderately high ceilings. And $$$$$$
Can someone suggest a cheaper alternative with an ultra slim profile for easy storage?
Pretty but too $$ for me. Guess I'll have to settle for my "ugly" stepladder and keep it in the closet!
why does good design have to be expensive?
Ikea, are you listening?
And while you're at it, could you please manufacture a really nice flat folding chair, something like these:
