The work

The route
becomes transparent.

The iron structure supports structural glass treads. The helical plan guides the movement, while transparency reveals the route even from beneath the flight.

A staircase designed by Simone Scapini.

Iron supports.
Glass opens.

Seen from the side, the staircase reveals the relationship between its metal structure and transparent treads. Two materials that make every stage visible.

The value
of authenticity.

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.
