Antonio Stradivari's staircase was designed to depict the upmost beauty and antiquity of his design, both physically and aurally. My inspiration came from the Stradivari's violins which can be found in my earlier posts. I was also inspired by Stradivari's perfection and methodology in the timber selection for his instruments.
For the design of Stradivari's stairs I was aiming to create a lightweight and elegant feel to the staircase, in which I believe I have achieved through having the treads suspended from a wall.
Each tread has been designed to show case the beautiful timber found in the violins. I have showcased this beautiful timber by placing it on the top of the tread encased by glass which further accentuates the elegance, antiquity and beauty of the instruments and the lightweight feel of the staircase.
In addition, I have combined the physical nature of the stair with the aural beauty of Stradivari's instrument. The treads have been designed so that once touch or weight is placed on each tread the harmonious sound created by Stradivari's masterpieces is played and echoed throughout the building.
Once again a lot of thought has been put into the design, functionality and aesthetics of Stradivari's staircase. Through the materials used, the look and lightweight feel of the stairs and the aural uniqueness of the treads, I have tried to create an experience of being in a symphony of Antonio Stradivari's fine instruments for the staircases user.
