The HAY Butler Stool is a contemporary take on a step-stool - A piece of furniture which is typically quite traditional in form. Clever curved edges intersect and create natural joints which remove the need for fixings.

Born from the desire to create a versatile step ladder to fit modern urban lifestyles, Shane Shneck has created in Butler a clever and multifunctional household item. Providing two extra steps when used as a ladder, the larger lower step allows it to be utilised as a side table, stool or bedside bench when not serving its primary function. Crafted in solid oak with contemporary detailing, Butler comes pre-assembled and ready to use.
