Designed by Pierre-Emmanuel Vandeputte, the Belvedere is a handsome wooden ladder accompanied by a square of wool. The piece can lean against an interior wall and is sturdy enough to serve as an elevated seat. The rungs can be used traditionally, as steps to the top, or decoratively, as tiers of shelving. The multifunctional wool can stretch across the bottom and hold lightweight items or wrap around the rungs as a pocket.
