EXPERIMENT 1 - THE STAIR CONCEPT MODEL

Concept

Using my current understanding of the components of a stair, I experimented with the shapes and geometry of my stair concept to ensure fluid movement and ease of transit of Trent Jansen Studios projects between work and gallery spaces. This is achieved through the circular shaped treads which enable space for large items to rest as well as ridges which secure the items . Furthermore, the ribcage-like balustrade not only compliments Trent Jansen Studio’s sense of cultural and historic fusing with contemporary design, but also enables furniture to rest in transit on the cobweb system of the rails and thus emulate the notion of 'biomimicry'.
