Codex Atlanticus, foglio 30v

Retractable Ladder

This is a lightweight, foldable and portable ladder. The ladder opens in an easily collapsible style, similar to a pantograph.

Once closed, it can be carried over the shoulder. As with modern designers, Leonardo analyzes a need and creates an object in order to satisfy it.
In Leonardo's manuscripts we discover that for him designing meant not just inventing, but thinking about an object that was the perfect combination of form, experience, functionality, and beauty.
