The work

Iron draws the line.
Wood welcomes.

Loretta’s curved first steps introduce the ascent. Its forged iron railing follows the wooden treads and lets light pass through against the stone wall.

A self-supporting staircase. Designed by Simone Scapini.
01 / Up close

The line,
up close.

The movement comes from the relationship between railing and treads.

Three materials.
One story.

The warmth of wood, the pattern of iron, the surface of stone. The staircase gains its character where they meet.

The works

The works are by Simone Scapini. Collaborators are credited on the relevant project pages, including Cannettato by Luca Zanaroli and Simone Scapini, and Incastro by Massimiliano Bottero and Simone Scapini. Reproducing these works requires the author’s permission.

The images

Images marked “AI photographic study” are editorial interpretations and may alter details of the work or its setting. The links beside them show the original photographs, which remain the reference for the details.

Studies of form

The three-dimensional animations are illustrative studies of line and material. The staircase in the contact section is an original 3D model inspired by the folded metal treads of “Fuori Salone Milano” in the Scapini Design portfolio. It is a study of form, rather than a reconstruction to scale. The Loretta film is an AI interpretation of the original photograph.
