Stairway to heavenly design

The Design Milk website has featured pictures of beautiful and unusual staircases which illustrate how these functional features can prove to be stunning pieces of sculpture in their own right.

These pictures, of projects from around the world, showcase a range of styles from spiral and floating through to geometric and triangular using a range of materials from wood, stone and steel.

The list of projects include designs from Maxwan Architects + Urbanists, Bell Phillips Architects, Ab Rogers Design and Alphaville Architects to name a few. Click here to see the full list of interesting designs.

Visiting the Venice Biennale

A few weeks ago it was the contemporary art world’s ultimate exhibition, La Biennale, which takes place in Venice every two years (hence the name). Foscarini, the Italian lighting company, and a sponsor of the festival, hosted the 30 permanent national pavilions in the city’s Giardini (public gardens) as well as a the “ILLUMInations” exhibit in the Venetian Arsenal. The exhibition featured 83 artists from around the world. Read more at Design Milk.
