Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us.

Going up... or down.

Interesting stairs designed by Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom.
Nice looking and different, but... don´t they seem a little bit difficult to climb?


More designs by them in TAF Arkitektkontor´s web site.

These other stairs are absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!! I´d give anything to have stairs like these at home!!!!!

Designed by Petr Hájek, Tomáš Hradečný, Jan Šépka, cooperation Jan Kolář, Martin Maršík, from the architectural and design office HŠH architekti.

Although I would be happy enough with these too:

I love the way the light comes through! The author is Jan Šépka, from HŠH architekti too.

I like the last one too but I'd still definitely have to have railings on both sides to hold on to. I might walk off the sides on the second and third ones if there were no railings.

To bad a hand rail is required by law in Norway :s

Is it, Aleksander? I agree that it´s dangerous not to have at least one rail.

I guess sometimes designers forget about those things and just concentrate on the artistic part of their project, instead of making the object be useful.

They are cool concepts but I can't stop thinking of my little cousins running on those stairs and falling badly :DP:

Good point Andrea! Apparently they´re not designed for a house with children... :rolleyes:

That's what I think every time I see these kind of creative things!! They are really nice to look at, but I wouldn't use them!! :D:D
