cima ladder


Cima Ladder was chosen to be part of the 20 selected entries of the Composites-on-Tour exhibition organized by Design Flanders, Belgium.

The manufacture of the ladder is produced in a single piece using the monocoque technique, similar to that used in bicycle frames. The material used is a carbon fibre composite.The continuous shape and the closed frame spread the forces in all directions.This study of form added to the high strength of the carbon fiber and allowed an extra thin and light ladder of only 1 Kg. The fact that the finished ladder works as a single piece makes the ladder more stable during the lifetime avoiding rattle of assembly parts.

Nice ladder but what's with the the goatee?
