Scissor stairs

The sharp, crisp design of scissor stairs acts as a sculptural element.
Scissor stairs are generally composed of two main flights of stairs which meet at a landing, forming a ‘U’ shape when viewed from above. This stair configuration has a sculptural dimension; striking effects can be achieved by arranging the materials in different degrees of opacity, reflectivity, and texture.

Arden has extensive experience designing scissor stairs with a u-shaped configuration. Each of Arden’s installations functions as a sculptural piece without trumping the surrounding visual harmonics of the space. The precise design of the scissor stairs makes for enjoyable views from virtually any angle.

The W4 stanchions are an implementation of a toughened glass balustrade solution incorporating the PF10/PF12 Arden system patch fittings on horizontal outriggers.
