About Ladderax
Ladderax was designed by Robert Heal in 1964 and manufactured by Staples of Cricklewood in London for sale in high end stores like Harrods, Heals, etc. Heal was influenced by the Danish school of design. This mid century Scandinavian design movement was all about reinterpreting simple, linear shapes from earlier design periods and making them ‘simpler’.

The Ladderax system combines upright ‘ladders’ that support shelves and cabinets, which sit on steel rods that hook onto the rungs of the ladders. One of the great benefits of Ladderax over its Scandinavian counterparts is that it doesn’t need to be attached to the wall (but it can be - each ladder has holes for drilling into the wall!). The whole set up breaks down easily when it needs to be moved and is so simple to rebuild. You can also be clever and source extra cabinets, rods, shelves and/or ladders to allow you add to and alter your configuration - the options for combinations are endless. 

Overall dimensions:

width 185cm x depth 42cm x height 201cm

1 x Drawer unit

2 x Bureau units

We have this set up for the feel of a home office, however this cleverly simple modular system has many options. You can alter the height of each shelf or cabinet easily using the many tiers on the upright ladders.
