Inspiration - Library Ladders









I have been doing some research on Library ladders - especially sliding ones.
One of my clients, who is a writer and has many, many books, wants some very large bookshelves to store them all. We need a ladder to access the top shelf which is not far off 4m high. I had previously found a German ready-made timber and metal one, however, that went out the window when we heard the price - a cool $10,000.
I have come across all kinds - who would have thought there were so many. Bulky, vintage, modern, industrial, timber, steel and so on. The above images are a few that I have found.
