Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action The occasional time a ladder comes in handy makes it worth keeping one around, but they can be cumbersome to store in the meantime. So a Barcelona-based design shop has re-thunk the folding ladder idea and come up with this brilliant design.
Ladders are like bears — they don’t work on hills very well. A bear’s shoulders aren’t built to extend far enough forward to run downhill effectively and a ladder’s legs are just as useless. The new clamp-on Thor-Stand, however, could help ladders tackle downhills with aplomb.

Sounds crazy (wood + fire?) but the SFFD’s one of the few to still use wooden ladders – they don’t conduct electricity – which they build with Douglas fir that’s been matured for 15 years.
There is no doubt about it—space saving design is a big selling point these days. Take this ironing board ladder for instance. It combines the functionality of a step ladder and an ironing board in a single unit that can fold away for easy storage. It seems like a great idea, but there is something about the unnatural combination of functions that seems a little ominous to me. I mean, it only takes one idiot to find a way to kill themselves misusing something like this. Available for US$99. [Tiny Living via BookofJoe]
What is the one thing that possibly does not need reinventing? That is right, the ladder. Still, that has not stopped Cima from popping on their thinking hats and contributing this interesting looking alternative.
