Los Angeles design studio De Jong & Co. adds to its collection of fine handmade furniture and home goods with an elemental step stool fashioned from solid, sustainably sourced American hardwood. Sturdy, light, and balanced, Merton puts out-of-reach corners close at hand or serves as a low accent table or spare seat. In a choice of natural maple, walnut or oak, this exceptional piece of craftsmanship has a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish.
