Something about the shape of a branch lends itself to a number of creative sculptural interpretations of its form in the crafting of custom handrails, from roots and trunks through individually articulated branches.

Companies like Imagination Metals specialize in twisting metal – something we usually see in perfectly straight or rounded forms – into organic shapes of all kinds that become like sculptures – interior artworks in their own right.

While some of these are asymmetrical, shifting and twisting form as they crawl up a staircase or wrap a room, others such as the one shown on a balcony above are simply repeated forms – order shown within the chaos of the organic design.
