Client Brief & Vision

The client wanted a statement staircase to elevate their entrance hall. It had to feel sculptural yet timeless, with an elegant curved ascent, rich timber underfoot, and just the right amount of luxurious detailing. A monkey tail handrail was essential to add a sense of flourish and refinement, while gold-finished spindles introduced a warm, contemporary contrast.

Our Solution

We designed a fully curved staircase with closed oak treads, rising in a continuous sweep. At the base, the handcrafted monkey tail handrail curls outward in a dramatic yet elegant flourish, shaped through traditional steam-bending and CNC refinement. Each spindle was finished in a brushed gold tone, offering a rich metallic accent that pairs beautifully with the natural oak.
