The Firststep stool/shelf by Belgian designer Marina Bautier. From 2000 and "batch produced" by the designer.
"combination of stool and shelf enables them [kids] not only to accomplish daily tasks on their own, but also gives them the satisfaction of getting to grips with a personal item that helps them to create their own world in the family bathroom. When it is not in use the stool is stored on the shelf, but can be easily taken down by children who can use it to reach the wash hand basin or toilet." —lamaisondemarina
