Revolutionizing Space with Bcompact Hybrid Stairs

Unveiling Zev Bianchi's Award-Winning, Space-Saving Design

The Bcompact Hybrid Stairs stand out with their unique sideways folding feature. This patent-pending design allows the staircase to fold flush against the wall when not in use, thereby maximizing space. Made from sustainably sourced bamboo, the stairs can be color stained to match any decor. The design is tailored to exact specifications, ensuring easy assembly and installation.

Bianchi's design is not just about aesthetics and functionality; it also emphasizes sustainability. The stairs are produced using zero waste CNC cutting techniques, which ensure over 90% material usage. The minimal waste produced is repurposed to create new variant products. The design incorporates non-ferrous metals like brass, aluminium, and stainless steel, ensuring a long and fully functional design life cycle.

Technical specifications of the Bcompact Hybrid Stairs are highly customizable, with heights ranging from 1.2m-3.7m and angles between 50-70 degrees. The design includes a fully automatic bi-fold compacting handrail and an automatic opening and closing safety gate. This ensures that space at the top landing is never left open when the product is folded or stowed flat against the wall. Locks are available to secure the stairs in open or closed positions, from both the top and the bottom.

The design's interaction is as impressive as its features. With minimal infrastructure alterations, it allows for the creation of new usable spaces in homes or work areas. It also serves as an exceptional security device, denying access to alternate floors. The design, which was launched worldwide in 2019, was conceived in Sydney, Australia, and is manufactured there and in the USA for global distribution.

Twenty years of research and development have culminated in this innovative design. The challenge was to create a fully functional and operational stair/ladder that took up virtually no space when not in use. This required reimagining a device that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. The result is a compact, space-saving device that incorporates sustainable materials and design techniques. The Bcompact Hybrid Stairs are a testament to Bianchi's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and clever, compact design.
