The double volume spiral staircase already in place was a beautiful sight on its own. But the space needed something more – and this custom lighting solution was a perfect match for the personality of the home.

“The hanging channels are equipped at their extremity with extended rectangular shaped arms of equal size. These extended arms house deep inside the light bulb and reach the center of each step, giving the impression that the fixture follows the staircase. The staircase’s core is represented in the lighting installation set above it with the channels positioned in a manner to create a core parallel to that of the staircase. The outcome is a grand scale lighting fixture with distinguishing architectural features that mirror and complement those of the staircase.”
