This is a monolithic sculptured table that is extremely simple and linear but with the addition of an element that moderates the austerity and rigid quality of the object. There is a series of steps that direct one`s attention to the world of architecture by calling to mind the stairs of buildings and monuments and the steps leading to the door of a house.
The ladder becomes a functional part and is useful for magazines, small objects, vases, etc. and also a conceptual part which metaphorically goes from one world to another, from one space to another, from a chaotic outside environment to one that is calm and domestic on the inside.
