The work

Iron takes
a free form.

Farfalle is a self-supporting forged iron staircase with parquet-covered wooden treads. Its railing moves through the room in an open design, between stone walls and ceiling beams.

A straight staircase. A design by Simone Scapini.

The staircase inhabits
the space.

The route connects the floors of the home. The wooden treads and iron railing find continuity in the materials around them.

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.
