a drawing.
Borghetto follows the helical staircase with interwoven, hand-forged iron. The lines overlap, spread out and meet again: the central opening reveals the work from every floor.

From above and below, the same interwoven lines take on a different presence.
A continuous rhythm.
The railing follows the edge of the staircase. The handrail and bars trace different curves, brought together in a single movement.

Before the staircase,
the line.
On the bench, the iron forms meet the lines of the drawing. The archive photograph records this stage: curves made one by one before becoming a railing.

The work seen from above
Open space brings the lines together.
Seen from above, the handrail and bars follow different paths. The central opening allows them to be read together.
The railing as a whole
A gesture that crosses the floors.
The railing follows the full helical staircase. The line from the workbench becomes a continuous presence within the room.
