About the original
The Wedo Step is a rolling kickstool manufactured in Germany from shatterproof recyclable polypropylene, standing 43cm tall with a 150kg load capacity and TÜV/GS certification to European standard EN 14183-F. Three spring-mounted castors let the stool glide when unloaded, then retract under body weight so the base settles onto an integrated rubber ring that grips the floor. Wedo is a brand of Werner Dorsch GmbH, a German writing-goods and office-supply manufacturer founded in 1933, and the rolling stool has been in continuous production for more than three decades. It appears in the permanent collection of the Berlin Museum of Things. Supreme's FW20 version color-dipped the stool in box logo colorways and retailed at $88.

The privately held company develops and produces desk organizers, letter trays, document safes, scissors, hole punches, and security accessories, exporting to more than 30 countries. Wedo's color-coded desktop accessories have appeared in European office supply catalogs for decades. Supreme collaborated with Wedo on a desktop file organizer and stacking letter tray.
