Sarah started off the project by studying how people with physical limitations move, and what their needs are. “It often feels good to be able to hold on to something with your hand. That’s why we developed the wall-mounted towel rail and shower shelf. But the step stools and the shower chair are stable and grip-friendly supports, too.” The shower chair can also add a bit of everyday luxury: imagine sitting comfortably and steadily and feeling the warm water pouring over your body.

Reviews
Basingen step stool so usefulAnonymous reviewerLove this step stool. It was easy to assemble - managed it easily on my own. It’s sturdy, stable but lightweight. The higher handle is useful and gives a bit of piece of mind as it’s easily reachable while on the top step. The top step is also big enough to sit on. The steps are a good width. It is not foldable so you need to find somewhere to store it. But it is easily portable - not too heavy to carry easily. A great item when you don’t need to access a long ladder.
Sturdy stoolAnonymous reviewerSturdy stool easy to put together, especially like the handle when climbing up and down on to it
Super safeAnonymous reviewerGreat item. Very sturdy. Ideal
Ok product Anonymous reviewerI think I makes it slightly unsafe when climbing down I think it should have a handle either side.

Story
A little support that can make a big difference
A helping hand on your way out of the bathtub, when you want to reach the top of the bathroom cabinet – or simply feel a bit groggy on an early morning. Our BÄSINGEN product series is there for convenient support when you need it the most. Designed for the bathroom, but just as useful throughout the home.
Life at home is in constant change, and the needs can shift quickly. “Maybe you pushed extra hard in the gym and woke up feeling all stiff. Then you might need a little extra support and help with the simplest everyday things. Like taking a shower,” says designer Sarah Fager.
A safe grip
Support that blends in with the home
The products were created to take up little space and have a minimalistic expression that is rooted in our Scandinavian design tradition. “They should blend in regardless of your style and shouldn’t be something you need to put away or hide.” Sarah hopes that the series will make a difference in the everyday life of many people. “This was one of my most challenging design projects because it was about meeting needs that were new to me. But this also made it one of my most enlightening projects. I wish BÄSINGEN will be something you can live with for a long time. Maybe you will use the products a bit less during certain periods in life, but they are always close at hand, ready to provide support.”
