"Most children's step stools look like they were designed by someone who never actually lived with kids. They're clunky plastic eyesores that get dragged out when needed, then quickly banished to closets where they can't offend anyone's sense of style. Parents tolerate them because they're necessary, but nobody pretends they add anything positive to a carefully curated living space. Joao Teixeira has reimagined what a step stool can become with Totto,"
"Totto functions as much more than a simple stepping platform. The integrated storage cubbies and shelf transform it into a mobile toy chest, reading nook, and personal headquarters that kids can push around the house using the friendly wheels built into the sides. One moment it's helping a child reach the bathroom sink, the next it's serving as a cozy seat for storytime or a vehicle for transporting stuffed animals on important missions."
Totto reimagines the children's step stool as a multifunctional, Montessori-aligned piece that helps children move independently to reach toys, books, and daily necessities. The piece combines stepping platforms with integrated storage cubbies and a shelf, enabling use as a mobile toy chest, reading nook, seat, or transport vehicle for toys. Smooth bentwood construction, natural finish, rounded edges, and an L-shaped profile create two height levels and a sophisticated aesthetic that complements modern interiors. Built-in side wheels make it mobile, and its design balances child safety, independence, and parental desire for attractive, practical home furnishings.
