Rather than starting with a shape or form, We turned our usual process on its head for this project, experimenting our way to a new material. The Roggbif stepladder and stool’s innovative use of colour, along with overlapping shapes and joints, highlight the inherent qualities of the birch from which they are constructed. Made from through-coloured wood, the stepladder and stool will survive years and years of wear and tear – a more sustainable alternative to the industry standard of colouring wood with a vulnerable top layer. The multicoloured design reflects the name – ‘Roggbif’ is the Norwegian acronym for the colours of the rainbow.
