A staircase was the predominant design element of the New York furniture showroom of Wilkahn North America. Connecting the two-story, 6,500-square-foot showroom was a steel staircase that seems to hang by steel cables.
To entice visitors to take a closer look at the showroom, architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP added an inclined plane of stainless steel mesh that bisects the floor and partially obscures the furniture on display. The concrete ceiling of the showroom was left exposed and transparently white-washed, a stark contrast to the precision of the German-made furniture being exhibited.
