Digital + Analog + Craftsmanship

Digital + Analog + Craftsmanship
I am so happy to have received photographs from the fabricator David Button of this intricate stair that I designed. A-symetrical stringer, stainless steel support bars, Stainless steel twisted tread casing, and stainless steel stringer cover - in collaboration with Workspace 11 & Milgo Bufkin. They really did a great job and its so exiting to bring form to life through a dialogue between the digital, analog and the craftsmen.
